The Hamptons Rope Collection​ is ​inspired by the stunning scenery, white fluffy beaches and beautiful waterways​ of the East End, as well as ​some of the most prestigious golf courses in the country. They are a perfect gift to savor that special memory from a favorite vacation and/or golf experience.

Ann’s charitable work is very important to her, particularly raising funds and awareness for cancer research and prevention, as Ann lost her father to cancer when she was in college, and a year and a half later, her 22-year-old brother passed away from leukemia.

Each year, the Ann Liguori Foundation hosts a popular charity golf tournament at a prestigious golf course on the East End of Long Island. This year, the 23rd Annual Ann Liguori Foundation Charity Golf Classic took place at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton. Proceeds from this year’s tournament benefited the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The Foundation also supports scholarships and mentorship programs for students working to pursue a career in sports media. The Ann Liguori Foundation Sports Media Scholarship is awarded annually and administered by NY-WICI (Women in Communications) and announced at the MATRIX AWARDS luncheon in Manhattan.
