Ludacris And Greens Step Up At The Green Vision Foundation Gala: An Environmental Footprint To Remember (Photos)

Amy Green and Gary Green hosted the second Footprint of Life Gala at their residence in Bridgehampton shining a light on environmental challenges from Harlem to Harare.

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 of the environmental challenges facing our World.

The environmental-themed “50 Shades of Blue” soiree benefitted the charity partners’ work to preserve and protect the environment and our natural world, promote community upliftment, and support conservation and education programs.

This event built on the inaugural Footprint of Life Gala and aims to pave the way for many more events to come that will center around the critical issues facing communities throughout the world.  Tusk.org matched every dollar raised at the Gala, helping Footprint of Life reach our goal of just under a million dollars.

The funds will go towards anti-poaching programs, protecting biodiversity, and supporting education initiatives.

At the gala, guests experienced a performance by three-time Grammy award winner and Screen Actors Guild award recipient, Ludacris.

In addition, guests enjoyed musical performances from the London Electronic Orchestra as well as curated food and drink options with distinguished Chef Ronica Copes, Arthur and Sons, Chef Richard Pims’ famous truffle pizzas, and Aristocrats Catering’s delectable bites. In addition, there was also a live auction.
