The event took place on Saturday, July 25.

A benefit for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine was held at a private wine club in Bridgehampton on Saturday, July 25.

The event was hosted by Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander at his club, Société du Vin.

“Leslie Alexander’s boundless compassion and longtime friendship with the Physicians Committee has helped keep countless animals out of laboratories,” Physicians Committee president Neal Barnard, M.D. said. “Mr. Alexander played an immense role in the Physicians Committee’s first 30 years of lifesaving achievements, and I look forward to sharing the next 30 years of successes with him, too.”
