An Evening of Purpose and Possiblity

Join us for a beautiful evening filled with heartfelt connections, inspiring stories, and joyful celebration at The Retreat's All Against Abuse Gala on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Southampton Arts Center.

This year, we are honored to celebrate the enduring legacy of Gail Rothwell, whose dedication to The Retreat's mission — and to the lives it touches — continues to inspire us all.

Guests will get to savor gourmet hors d'oeuvres and handcrafted cocktails by Art of Eating; listen to moving tales of hope and healing from those The Retreat has served; and cap the night with a spirited live auction featuring exclusive experiences — all led by the beloved Harry Santa-Olalla.

Together, let’s raise a glass to strength, healing, and a brighter future. This benefit supports The Retreat’s free services, including emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, prevention education, and a 24-hour multilingual hotline.

The Retreat's Mission

The Retreat is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving all of Long Island. The Retreat creates safety, healing and hope for those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, while working every day to prevent and break the cycle of violence.

In pursuit of that mission, we offer confidential, no-fee support services, including a 24-hour multilingual hotline, counseling, legal advocacy, prevention education, and emergency shelter. Through our Fatherhood Initiative, we also engage men as parents and partners in building safe, stable and thriving families.
