Artist Birdhouse Auction Returns to Benefit Women's Cancers

After a three-year hiatus, the 11th annual Artist Birdhouse Auction will take place on Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Union Cantina in Southampton. It will benefit Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in their fight against breast cancer. The event is being held in memory of Don Saco, a sculptor, clinical psychologist, and longtime supporter of the breast cancer awareness movement on the East End.

The auction, with tickets priced at $40 in advance and $50 at the door, will include passed hors d’oeuvres, a full bar, and live and silent auctions of one-of-a-kind birdhouses designed by approximately 50 artists, among them Stephanie Brody-Lederman, Arlene Bujese, Eric Ernst, Camille Perrottet, Gabriele Raacke, and Dan Welden.
