The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons celebrated their 16th Annual GET WILD! Gala raising funds to contribute to their mission to rehabilitate and successfully release animals back into the wild across Eastern Long Island. Michael Hayes was honored at this year's Gala, held at the Southampton Arts Center and the event chairs for this year's benefit were Ingrid Edelman, Jane Gill, Missy Hargraves, Jonathan McCann and Lisa Baron Schenker. The emcee for the event was Award-winning animal advocate Jill Rappaport. Guests were treated to live music from special musical guests Taylor Barton and G.E. Smith, cocktails, light fare, and a silent auction. The highlight of the evening was board member Jeffrey Colle's gift to the silent auction of a safari in Africa, at Buffalo Kloof in South Africa's Eastern Cape province - which ended up selling multiple times to the great benefit of the Wildlife Rescue Center.
