Several years ago, in the Southampton College era, the hugely popular “All For the Sea” summer concert series that the college held to raise money for its marine science program grew into one of the largest events on the East End and raised millions for its cause.

Though the music ended when the college closed and changed ownership, a new organization, inspired in part by those fundraising concerts of yore has launched.

Myron Levine, a former member of the college’s Board of Overseers and a current member of the Peconic Bay Public Broadcasting Board of Directors, started “All for the East End,” in a nod to its predecessor of sorts. The group, called “AFTEE” for short, is a nonprofit created with a goal of showcasing and supporting the “charity, culture and service”... more

I think this is a great idea but I fear the location is not going to draw the East End crowds. I'm not knocking Martha Clara either. But driving to Riverhead when you live East is a big hike, and probably wouldn't be worth it.

You have to love the East End! Only here is a 27 mile 43 minute drive (from Bridgehampton to Martha Clara via google maps) considered a "big hike", even when it is for a good cause.

I'm for anything that draws the crowds OUT of the East End.

Great Idea and wonderful venue..in August that is a Huge hike for anyone from the East Hampton area..and by then everyone is working that extra few hours to get thru the summer...College kids leaving and less help for us business owners. .How about doing it in Sept or Oct ? Locals could enjoy it more..Just a thought. Good luck to Mr Levine. Josh was a wonderful young man.

Thank you Mr. Levine! It is a brilliant idea and plan and I celebrate your efforts to draw attention and support to the many in need on the East End who struggle to live in one of the most expensive areas in the country, in addition to the personal burdens they may also be carrying. I have to say I have grown increasingly tired of the support groups and fundraisers for horses, dogs and people of other nations. Let's put our efforts into our community members and their plights....such as housing ...more

A big hike from BH to RH? In 1980 it took us about 1/2 hour to get to Rt. 58 from Mitchell Lane. My grandmother told me about the day long trip to get to the Riverhead Fair back in 1919. But for a worthy effort I guess we could listen to our ipod a bit longer in the car.
