The Sunflowers After Hours Gala and Auction is held annually at Girasole, the Southampton home of

Henry Buhl, Philanthropist and Founder of The Association of Community Employment Programs for the

Homeless (A.C.E.).  The evening is one of the most exciting fundraisers of the season, and features an elegant clambake, auction and dancing under the stars in the midst of 18,000 sunflowers, planted especially for this event.

The funds raised benefit A.C.E., an organization that improves the lives of New York City's homeless men and women by helping them achieve long-term, economic self-sufficiency.
