SUMMARY:2026 Benefit Letter
DESCRIPTION:Dear North Fork Women Members and Friends\,\nAfter much thoughtful discussion\, the Board has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Summer Benefit.\nThis event has been a long-standing and much-loved North Fork Women tradition\, so this was not a decision we made lightly. There were many factors we considered\, but ultimately\, ticket sales have been lower than we had hoped.\nSummers on the North Fork are busy\, with vacations\, visitors and so many competing plans. At the same time\, our venue options have changed over the years\, and the cost of hosting a large summer event has continued to rise.\nWhile we are certainly disappointed\, we also see something very positive in how our organization has grown. North Fork Women now offers more programs and events throughout the year than ever before. The incredible success of First Friday Friends and our other community events means we are seeing one another\, connecting and building community more regularly—not just once a year at the Summer Benefit.\nWe are so grateful to everyone who purchased tickets\, offered support and helped with the planning. We will be reaching out directly to those who have already purchased tickets or sponsorships.\nAlthough we are foregoing this year's Summer Benefit\, the importance of supporting North Fork Women remains as great as ever. The need within our community—and the demand for our grants—has continued to grow. We hope you will consider making a donation so we can continue providing this vital support to women across the North Fork.\nWe are very much looking forward to our Annual Oyster Event in October and hope to see many of you there. We have so much to celebrate together\, and we remain excited about all that is ahead for North Fork Women.\nWith gratitude\,\nKristen Phelan\, President\non behalf of the Board of North Fork Women\nPLEASE DONATE \nDear North Fork Women Members and Friends\, \nAfter much thoughtful discussion\, the Board has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Summer Benefit. \nThis event has been a long-standing and much-loved North Fork Women tradition\, so this was not a decision we made lightly.
