On Saturday, July 10 Oceana will make its first fundraising splash in the East End with an event in Watermill appropriately called the "Hamptons Splash Party." The Master of Ceremonies for the event will be film and television star Sam Waterson and Hamptons.com spoke with him prior to the event.
This is the first time Oceana is coming to the Hamptons, which as you know is fertile ground for charitable fundraising events, particularly in the summer. Do you have high expectations in regards to the support you will garner out here?
Sam Waterson: It will be interesting to see. If there was ever a moment for people who care about what goes on in the ocean to make it known, this would seem to me to be the summer and the moment because of the BP oil spill. People may look at the ocean and see it as the same and that it will always be the same, but it is pretty obvious that unless we do something it is going to change and change for the worse.
