Barack Obama Hamptons Fundraiser to Be Hosted by Nathan Lane on August 24
A Hamptons fundraiser for President Barack Obama, called “East End For Obama,” has been scheduled for August 24, giving Democrats the chance to do for the president what Mitt Romney supporters in the Hamptons did for the Republican earlier this summer.
President Obama has not been scheduled to appear at the event, but Vice President Joe Biden—no stranger to the Hamptons—will be there, sources say. With hosts Nathan Lane, Julianne Moore, Edie Falco and Jane Holzer, and music by James Taylor, the fundraiser at the home of Ellen Chesler and Matthew Mallow in Bridgehampton is expected to draw big crowds. The cost is $500 for those under 30 years old, $1000 for a general ticket and $2,500 for a preferred ticket, which comes with an opportunity to get your picture taken with Vice President Biden.
