Last Saturday, East Hampton’s streets came alive with wagging tails and smiling faces for ARF’s 32nd Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk. Families, friends, and their dogs gathered at the historic Mulford Farm, where the morning kicked off with vendors, photo ops, custom merchandise, contests, and prizes. The event was emceed by designer Isaac Mizrahi, who also illustrated the custom dog graphic featured on this year’s event t-shirts. After the festivities, participants set off on the beloved two-mile walk to Main Beach, continuing a cherished tradition that celebrates community and compassion for animals.
“Every dollar raised and every step walked helps give a homeless animal a second chance,” said Kim Nichols, ARF’s Executive Director. “Seeing so many people come together, with their dogs by their side, to support rescue and love in action was truly inspiring. The Stroll to the Sea is one of those special days that reminds us why ARF exists — to celebrate the incredible bond between people and animals. This year’s record-breaking success shows the strength of this community and the deep compassion that fuels our mission every day.”
