Bridgehampton, NY – On August 15, 2024, Amy and Gary Green will host the second Footprint of Life Gala at their residence, themed “50 Shades of Blue.” This environmental gala aims to support various charity partners dedicated to preserving the natural world, promoting community upliftment, and advancing conservation and education initiatives. Building on the success of the inaugural event, the gala seeks to address critical global issues affecting communities.

The gala's chairs, Amy and Gary Green, will be joined by a host committee that includes notable personalities such as Charlie Mayhew, David Yarrow, Jane Goodall, and Evie Evangelou. A significant focus of the evening will be on educating attendees about conservation efforts that empower indigenous communities and combat illegal wildlife trade and poaching.

Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, is a core supporter and strategic advisor to this initiative. The event underscores the urgent need for action to protect endangered species and preserve biodiversity.
