Beyond the Baseline

While the matches kick off at 5:30 p.m., the experience extends well beyond the court. DJ Rob Beer and DJ Bryan Griffin will set the tempo with live sets, while the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) will introduce adoptable puppies to guests — ensuring that the night’s feel-good factor reaches beyond philanthropy into direct action.

At 8:30 p.m., the celebration will move to Common Ground East for the official after-party, open to all event attendees.

How to Participate

Tickets are available now, with general admission at $150 and player spots at $300. Spaces for players are limited, with a waitlist to follow once capacity is reached. Complimentary tickets are available for select leaders and supporters who have championed the cause.

Championing the Brady Hunter Foundation Mission

Founded on the belief that “all species are created equal”, the Brady Hunter Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting animals, empowering children, and promoting environmental welfare. Proceeds from Padel for a Purpose will directly support its charitable programs, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for kindness and solidarity.

The Foundation’s work is currently featured in the new CBS Wknd television series Extraordinary World with Jeff Corwin, where Emmy®-winning conservationist Jeff Corwin follows the organization’s projects across the country, highlighting advocacy, conservation, and youth empowerment in action.

A Summer Highlight with Heart

With its fusion of high-level sport, star-studded hosts, music, and a mission that resonates across generations, Padel for a Purpose is poised to stand out as one of the Hamptons’ most meaningful summer gatherings — proving that in the right hands, competition can be a powerful force for change.
