Amy
Green and Gary
Green hosted probably one of the best events of summer
2023 - the inaugural Footprint of Life Gala at their
residence in Bridgehampton. The family-run The Green Vision
Foundation curated a star-studded night to bring together
like-minded organizations to collectively support and bring
much-needed awareness and raised in excess of $600,000.
The jungle-themed “50 Shades of Green” soiree
benefitted the charity partners’ work to preserve and
protect the natural world, promote community upliftment, and
most importantly support conservation programs across
Africa. The inaugural event is anticipated to pave the way
for many more events to come that will center around
communities throughout the world.
The glamorous night had many captivating
aspects including cocktails, curated food stations, a live
auction, musical performances by JAN BLOMQVIST, Grace
Vanderwaal and DJ RUCKUS. Additionally, work by David
Yarrow, recognized as one of the best fine art photographers
in the world, was prominently displayed.
Discussing the importance and impact of the
event, Global Ambassador Amy Green was passionate in her
commitment, “The footprint of life gala was not just about
raising needed funds dedicated to the preservation of our
planet, antipoaching, rainforest protection, education,
improving livelihoods and climate change around the world,
It was also about raising the universal vibration. Coming
together to find ways to support each other and make change
in the most crucial parts of the world is vitally
important. I am so fortunate to be able to raise my
beautiful family in this lovely world and I cannot imagine
waking up one day and all of our natural resources have been
diminished and our wildlife extinct.”
The philanthropic causes that will benefit
included an array of well-recognized global organizations.
Tusk for more than three decades has produced innovative
conservation action in Africa. Under the Royal Patronage of
HRH Prince William, The Prince of Wales, the charity has
raised over $130 million for conservation and community
livelihoods programs. The African Community & Conservation
Foundation provides a gateway platform to connect citizens
of the world with a strategic and sustainable community and
conservation programs underway in Africa. The latest ACCF
expansion projects include Karingani in Mozambique, the
Rwanda Project – Volcanoes National Park, and The Malilangwe
Trust in Zimbabwe.
