Robert Kraft donates $10K to Texas flood victims in Hamptons

Only in the Hamptons, kids, only in the Hamptons…

Patriots owner Robert Kraft magnanimously contributed $10,000 to flood victims in Texas while he was in Southampton, seizing the chance to lend a hand.

An observer remarked: “Kraft captured attention in the Hamptons this week — not for football — but for an unexpected display of generosity towards Texas flood victims.”

A source informed Page Six that Kraft was meandering down Main Street in Southampton following brunch at the popular 75 Main, when he was approached by Vicky Schneps, co-publisher of Dan’s Papers — who had just concluded a press conference at the Village Hall with prominent Hamptons chefs and Southampton Mayor William Manger.

“Mr. Kraft — we’re raising money for families in Texas. Can you help?” Schneps called out.

Said our spy, “Kraft didn’t hesitate, pledging $10,000 on the spot to the Salvation Army’s Texas flood relief fund.”

“I’ve been a proud Jets fan for decades — but today, I’m officially a Patriots fan. Robert Kraft has a heart as big as Texas,” Schneps declared to cheers from the crowd.

The heartwarming moment came during the kickoff of a Hamptons-based culinary relief initiative that will continue at Dan’s Taste of the Hamptons on July 17, where a portion of proceeds from featured dishes will support Texas flood victims. There was even chili.

The devastating floods in the Lone Star State have already claimed at least 129 lives, with over 170 people still unaccounted for, and heavy rains and flash floods have returned, pounding Texas once more. 

Kraft is known as a philanthropist: His Foundation to Combat Antisemitism created a $25 million “blue square” campaign, we’ve reported, as a “symbol of standing up to Jewish hate and all hate.”

In 2020, The Post reported, Kraft and his family spent $2 million on a 1.7 million-mask order during the COVID-19 pandemic to distribute the crucial supplies to Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island as the country grappled with the world’s worst recorded coronavirus outbreak at the time.

He’s also a generous Hamptons host. We reported this month that Kraft, 84, and his wife Dr. Dana Blumberg threw a starry Fourth of July party in the East End enclave where “Philadelphia Freedom” singer Elton John performed.

Guests at the party included Howard and Beth Stern, Jon Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Mike Tyson and his wife Kiki, Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg, Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek, Van Jones, Michael Rubin and Camille Fishel and JPMorgan executive Mary Erdoes and John’s husband, David Furnish, among others.

A rep for Kraft did not immediately comment.
