Big Turnouts at Ellen’s Run and Hoops 4 Hope Tourney

Sergey Avramenko, 37, of Hampton Bays, Jenny Grimshaw, 31, of San Francisco, and her mother, Judi Donnelly, 65, of Southampton and Wellesley, Mass., the first among breast cancer survivors, were winners at the 27th Ellen’s Run in Southampton Sunday to benefit the Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Another worthy organization, Hoops 4 Hope, benefited from a pleasing turnout at its inaugural 3-on-3 basketball tournament at East Hampton High School Saturday.
