The chance of rain threatening the fun at the 20th Annual Clamshell Foundation Sandcastle Contest on Saturday, August 6, 2011, did not stop these dedicated castle crews. Families and friends flocked to Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett to cheer on and participate in the tradition of sand art. With up to six people per team and five different age groups there was no shortage on talent, or winners!

The money raised through registration fees, sale of the tee-shirts, merchandise and other donations all went to helping a variety of charitable causes promoted and assisted by The Clamshell Foundation. The Clamshell Foundation was started in 1991, by founder and CEO Rossetti Perchik, to “enrich the lives of others by fostering education in health, cultural, and environmental fields of endeavor”

The annual contest was a big success once again and not only gave trophies to the winners, but excitement to spectators, and proceeds to a great cause.
