East Hampton Sandcastle Contest 2009 Part 2

18th Annual East Hampton Sandcastle Contest 2009
With a concept formulated in 1991, by Rossetti Perchik, the 1st Annual East Hampton SandCastle Contest took place on August 26, 1992 at the Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett. In September of 1993 we were approved as a NYS 501c3 Not-For-Profit Corporation under the name of the Clamshell Foundation. The SandCastle Contest has become one of the highlights of the Hampton summer.

The name "Clamshell Foundation" was chosen in deference to those on the East End of Long Island who made a livelihood from the waters of Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Clamshells can be found everywhere.

The purpose of the corporation, as stated in our charter, is to enrich the lives of others by fostering education in health, cultural, and environmental fields of endeavor. Currently, we are concentrating our efforts in the area of water quality projects here in the Town of East Hampton, as well as community based concerns such as local food pantries and educational projects.

The SandCastle Contest was created not only as a day of fun on the beach, but also to point out how important the waters are to all of us. Contributions to the Clamshell Foundation can help to bring about change, and protect the very reason that we are a resort community
