ABOUT THE GAME
MISSION
The East Hampton Artists & Writers Annual Softball Game and its events are dedicated to building a community around the game and building a better game to serve the community. In the spirit of one of the longest continuing traditions on the East End, artists, writers, supporters and volunteers come together for entertainment, competition and fun to benefit local charities that provide vital human services. We ask your help in hitting it out of the park for the community we share and love.
We are a 501(C3) that supports organizations that provide vital human services to the East End. They cover the full circle of life – from early childhood learning to hospice assistance for patients and families. They reach out to those trying to overcome addictions and to those who need to get beyond an abusive environment. The community around the game works to build the community we serve.
All funds raised from our events will support:
