The Clamshell Foundation was founded in 1992 by the late Rossetti Perchik. Rossetti’s love for the East Hampton community and local waters inspired him to create events that everyone could enjoy. We are working to continue Rossetti’s mission by ensuring The Clamshell Foundation supports the people, programs, and projects of the East End.
We partner and provide funds to local groups including the Retreat, Montauk, East Hampton, Amagansett, Springs & Sag Harbor Food Pantries, East End Cares, OLA of Eastern Long Island, Soul Grow and Olman Sanabria, among others.
100% of all profits go back to our community to support local endeavors. We are a New York 501C3 nonprofit foundation and all donations are tax deductible as allowed by United State Tax Law.
