On Saturday, June 26, 2010, the Nature Conservancy in New York held its Beaches & Bays 10th Anniversary Celebration Gala at The Center for Conservation in East Hampton.
Gala Chair, Kathy Rayner, joined the organization
in thanking the honoree, Barbara Slifka. In recognition of Ms. Slifka’s extraordinary support of the
Conservancy’s Amazon program, a highly-respected leader from the Karipuna, one of the four
indigenous groups from northern Brazil, made the long journey from Brazil to New York to say thank
you in person.
Guests described this gala as “the best one yet.” The tent was filled to capacity while guests of all
ages filled the dance floor. It was especially refreshing to see a large young crowd participating
in the festivities.
Celebrating its tenth year, The Beaches and Bays Gala is The Nature Conservancy’s largest fundraiser,
attracting hundreds of supporters. During these 10 years, the event has raised over $4.7 million for
this organization’s conservation work.
