A private estate in Southampton, New York, became the setting for an afternoon of philanthropy and fashion aimed at supporting children affected by hardship and war in Ukraine. The event, sponsored by esteemed psychiatrist Dr. Amar, benefited the Mishpacha Orphanage in Odesa, Ukraine, a safe and nurturing home for approximately 120 Jewish children who have lost their families or require care due to difficult circumstances, including the ongoing war.
The fundraiser brought together philanthropists, community leaders, fashion enthusiasts, business professionals, and distinguished guests for an afternoon centered on compassion, generosity, and collective impact. Organized and produced by Masha Tsinberg Consulting in collaboration with EPN Magazine, the gathering combined expertise in luxury branding, public relations, media, event strategy, high-level networking, and community engagement to create a sophisticated philanthropic experience in the Hamptons. The event was co-hosted by Masha Tsinberg and the owner of the Southampton estate, Yelena, who united their respective communities in support of the humanitarian mission.
Against the backdrop of the Hamptons, the fundraiser demonstrated how fashion, luxury, media, business relationships, and social influence can serve as powerful vehicles for philanthropy and meaningful social impact. Through the generosity of sponsors, guests, supporters, and community partners, the event helped bring greater awareness to the needs of vulnerable children in Ukraine while reinforcing the importance of community, compassion, and giving.
“Fashion, glamour, and philanthropy are most powerful when they come together for a meaningful cause,” said Dr. Amar. “This afternoon was not only a celebration of extraordinary style and hospitality, but an opportunity to stand behind children whose lives have been profoundly affected by circumstances beyond their control. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and hopeful about the future.”
The implications of the announcement extend beyond a single afternoon. The event underscores the role that high-profile professionals and luxury networks can play in directing attention—and resources—toward humanitarian crises that might otherwise remain distant from affluent communities. By aligning a psychiatric professional’s commitment to wellness and humanity with the reach of media and event strategy, the fundraiser illustrates a model of philanthropy that leverages social influence for tangible benefit. For the Mishpacha Orphanage, such visibility is critical as it continues its mission while children and families throughout Ukraine face the ongoing effects of war and displacement. The collaboration among Masha Tsinberg Consulting, EPN Magazine, and individual hosts like Yelena shows how cross-sector partnerships can amplify a cause, connecting a local Hamptons gathering to an international need. The event was more than an elegant gathering; it was a celebration of purpose, compassion, and the extraordinary impact that can be created when generosity takes center stage.
