On Saturday, July 27th, Project Zero and Montauk Beach House teamed up to clean Nick’s Beach on 3 South Edison St, one of Montauk’s busiest beaches. The event was followed by a Slim Aarons-themed pool party and art auction fundraiser at Montauk Beach House.

This year’s event kicked off with a beach cleanup at Nick’s Beach, with over 30 attendees showing up to clean. The cleanup resulted in four bags of garbage collected in under one hour. A Topo Chico van hauled away the trash to the Montauk Recycling Center, after Alexandra Richards saved some items to recycle into an art piece to be auctioned off at next year’s Project Zero fundraiser in the Hamptons.

The art auction and Slim Aarons-themed after-party took place at Montauk Beach House and also celebrated Alexandra’s birthday, where her only wish was for everyone to donate to Project Zero to help save the ocean’s coral reefs. The event was DJed both by Alexandra and DJ Brandi Cyrus, who shared the turntables. The 2024 art auction featured a Baron Von Fancy mystery painting, two Dime Club Tickets to a 2024-25 NY Islanders Game plus home delivery of Heineken, Lala Pajamas, a James Goldcrown painting and a surfboard customized by celebrated artist James Goldcrown. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Project Zero.

This was Project Zero’s second annual beach clean-up in the Hamptons. Last year’s event saw Project Zero clean up Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett, followed by a fundraiser where Alexandra Richards & Christie Brinkley unveiled a Garia Car painted by renowned visual
