On Saturday, July 27, baseball great Carlos Beltran celebrated his retirement during the 5th Annual Bridgehampton Benefit – a fundraiser for the Carlos Beltran Foundation and Operation International. Prior to the soiree, and filming the Startalk podcast with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reily at Southampton Arts Center, Hamptons.com had the pleasure of sitting down with Beltran to chat about his charity, his nearly 20 year MLB career, and more.

​

ust in time for World Lion Day 2021, The African Community & Conservation Foundation (ACCF) and Tusk are proud to announce the launch of the U.S. Tusk Lion Trail, a global art installation in support of African people and conservation.

​

Following the huge success and popularity of the Tusk Rhino Trail in 2018, ACCF and Tusk have launched 12 life-sized lion sculptures onto the streets in iconic locations throughout The Hamptons. In addition to The Hamptons, the Tusk Lion Trail includes several UK cities (London, Edinburgh and Bristol), Sydney, Wellington and Nairobi. The artworks will be on display in The Hamptons for the public to enjoy until the end of August 2021.

The inaugural Smithtown Classic and after-party hosted by Jason E. Zimmerman, CEO of Bridgehampton Equities, to support the Little Saint Nick Foundation took place on Monday, June 14 at the Smithtown Landing Country Club.

 

All revenue from the benefit went to support this humanitarian effort. The Little Saint Nick Foundation (LSNF) is a non-profit founded in 2004 by Raymond Mohler, Jr. It is headquartered in New York with an expansion chapter in Florida.
