A private estate in Southampton, New York, hosted an afternoon of philanthropy and fashion to benefit the Mishpacha Orphanage in Odesa, Ukraine, drawing philanthropists, community leaders, and business professionals to support approximately 120 Jewish children who have lost their families or require care due to hardship and the ongoing war. The event was sponsored by psychiatrist Dr. Amar and organized by Masha Tsinberg Consulting in collaboration with EPN Magazine.
The fundraiser underscored the growing intersection of luxury, media, and social influence as vehicles for humanitarian aid. Against the backdrop of the Hamptons, guests were reminded that fashion and glamour can be harnessed for meaningful causes. “Fashion, glamour, and philanthropy are most powerful when they come together for a meaningful cause,” Dr. Amar said. “This afternoon was not only a celebration of extraordinary style and hospitality, but an opportunity to stand behind children whose lives have been profoundly affected by circumstances beyond their control. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and hopeful about the future.”
The event was co-hosted by Masha Tsinberg and Yelena, the owner of the Southampton estate, who united their respective communities for the humanitarian mission. Masha Tsinberg Consulting, a New York-based firm specializing in brand strategy, public relations, and luxury events, produced the gathering, while EPN Magazine, a media and lifestyle platform, helped extend its reach to a broader audience of readers and supporters.
The Mishpacha Orphanage provides a safe and nurturing home for children who have lost their families or require assistance because of challenging life circumstances. Its mission continues amid the ongoing effects of war and displacement across Ukraine, where many families remain uprooted and vulnerable. The Southampton event aimed to raise awareness of these needs and reinforce the importance of community, compassion, and giving.
Dr. Amar’s involvement reflects his commitment to wellness and humanity beyond the clinical setting. As a psychiatrist dedicated to compassionate mental health care, he has supported initiatives that strengthen individuals, families, and communities. His sponsorship of the fundraiser signals a broader trend of professionals using their platforms to address global crises, particularly those affecting children.
The event demonstrated how social influence and business relationships can be mobilized for philanthropy. By bringing together fashion enthusiasts, media, and community leaders, the organizers created a sophisticated philanthropic experience that highlighted the plight of vulnerable children in Ukraine. The gathering served as a reminder that generosity and collective action can create meaningful impact, even in the most elegant of settings.
