The 6th Annual “Hamptons Artists for Haiti Benefit” was held on Saturday evening on the fields of the Hayground School. Proceeds will benefit the Wings Over Haiti Foundation to expand its second school in Ranquitte, Haiti, which opened its doors three years ago. The school, the only one in the area, now educates over 100 students, and is on the way to enrolling 400. Proceeds from the benefit will go to building more classrooms and providing the kids with regular meals. KYRIL BROMLEY PHOTOS
