Scarlett's brother also seems to have a very big heart, hosting the Champions of Rockaway Hurricane Fundraiser following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

At the time, Scarlett had shared: "Hunter and I were here in New York — we were 15 years old when September 11 happened, and that was pretty shocking."

"We thought the city that we grew up in was rock solid, and it shook the foundation of the city — for very different reasons obviously. Seeing the city shaken once more [by Hurricane Sandy], it was totally, totally shocking for the people that were living here. Two years later, people are feeling huge effects of this devastating loss."
