Hamptons Dinner
An Invitation-Only Evening of Influence, Culture, and Commitment
The Elara Hamptons Dinner is an exclusive midsummer gathering of influential leaders, investors, philanthropists, and creatives who share a commitment to advancing Black excellence through education and equity. Set in a private residence on the East End, this experience is equal parts cultural convening and strategic fundraiser — curated to spark connection, insight, and bold investment in the Elara mission.
This is not just a dinner. It’s a declaration of what’s possible when we gather with intention.

💬 “This wasn’t a fundraiser — it was a cultural moment. The people, the stories, the mission... it left me changed.”
