Hillary Clinton To Hold At Least Two Fundraisers In Hamptons In August

Ms. Clinton will attend at least two fundraisers for her presidential campaign at private homes in the Hamptons in late August, according to a schedule of her plans sent to supporters this week.

On Saturday, August 22, Ms. Clinton will attend an evening dinner reception at the Water Mill estate of apparel magnate Arthur Rabin.

The following weekend, on August 30, Ms. Clinton will attend a pancake breakfast" in East Hampton Village, at the home of longtime supporters Susan and Alan Patricof.

The price per plate for seats at a table at either event has not been announced but campaign finance laws would limit contributions to $2,700 per person. The funds raised would go to Ms. Clinton's primary campaign war chest, which campaign managers have said has a target fundraising goal of $100 million.

Sources close to the family said that with the Clintons obviously planning to be on the South Fork for more than a week, there are likely to be more events as well.

Where the Clintons plan to stay while on the South Fork is not yet known. In years past they have rented estates in Sagaponack and Amagansett but have also frequently stayed at the homes of friends and supporters.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will visit the Hamptons late next month for a short vacation and to attend a fundraiser for her presidential campaign.

Multiple sources have said in recent weeks that Ms. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will be vacationing on the South Fork again at some point during the final weeks of August, though not likely for as long as their two-week retreats in recent years, due to Ms. Clinton’s campaign schedule.

“I rather doubt they’ll be renting—she’s fairly busy these days,” said Judith Hope, a longtime friend of the Clintons who lives in East Hampton. “I think they will probably just come out for a weekend. At least that’s my vague understanding.”

Another source close to the Clintons, who asked not to be identified, said the former First Family is expected to stay somewhere in Amagansett. The Clintons rented a house in Amagansett last summer and have rented in Sagaponack in the past as well; they have also stayed as guests at the East Hampton homes of friends like Steven Spielberg and Elie Hirschfeld.

Details about at least one high-dollar fundraiser being held for Ms. Clinton’s campaign during her visit remain vague, though a Democratic Party source says there will be an emphasis on appealing to younger supporters and, of course, those with the deepest pockets.

But the visit, however short it might be, will still be largely about rest and relaxation.

“They come here because they like being here,” the source said. “It’s more for a vacation and to be among friends than for the fundraising.”
