The Retreat Domestic Violence Services of East Hampton held their annual "All Against Abuse" Benefit at Ross Lower School on Butter Lane in Bridgehampton.
The theme of the sold out fundraiser, which raised more than $125,000 for The Retreat, was "A Night in Monte Carlo". Besides dancing, food and drink by Cynthia Battaglia and Distinctive Catering, guests tried their hand at roulette, a wine ring toss and card games.
