Sage and Madison Boutique’s
“Sip and Shop” Fundraiser Series for Local Nonprofits
Chris Coffee’s boutique Sage and Madison, opened its beautiful garden on Sage Street to patrons in May, and an idea was born. “Local author—from right down the block—Stacy Dermont was here with us for the grand opening signing copies of The Hamptons Kitchen, along with the cookbook’s photographer Barbara Lassen. Local farmers and artists and neighbors dropped in to say ‘hi’ and grab a lemonade. It was great!,” says Coffee.
Coffee decided to launch a series of “sip and shop” events at the boutique.
Coffee will donate 10% of profits from sales to a local nonprofit. The “sipping” will be non-alcoholic—patrons can purchase an iced tea, iced coffee, or lemonade, from the takeout window.
On Saturday, June 26, from 5-7pm, 10% of profits will be donated to Liz Joyce’s Goat on a Boat Puppet Theater (GOAB) to support the new Puppet Truck and Mobile Stage.
In celebration of GOAB’s 20th anniversary, Joyce and company is “taking the show on the road,” appearing across the East End this summer and across the island later in the year.
“We are currently in our 20th year and, to celebrate, Goat on a Boat is launching our Puppet Truck fundraising campaign. Think Bookmobile but with puppets and a lovely outdoor stage,” says Joyce. “Our goal is to bring puppetry to under-served and under-represented communities on Long Island.”
“We’re delighted that our patrons can help launch this new, colorful program for GOAB,” Coffee says.
