Event Sponsors

GrowingGreat’s Farm to Table Benefit was a magical evening and a smashing success. Over 200 guests enjoyed a locally sourced, farm fresh meal under the stars while raising money for GrowingGreat’s School Garden and Nutrition Education programs. This event marked GrowingGreat’s 15 years of inspiring healthy eating for children and families.

A special thanks to Cindy and David Hoag for hosting our benefit at their home and sharing their beautiful Virage Napa Valley wine with our guests. We’d also like to specially thank Marci Beech, Gabi Norton and Nancy Vrankovic for providing their event services, Joe Lewis for his event rentals, and honorees Andrea and Michael Zislis for their generous contribution to the benefit.

We are eternally grateful to our chefs Davide LeFevre, Alan Jackson, Dustin Lewandowski, Stephanie Franz and Julia Webb, and our outstanding caterer and chef, Tammy Lipps. We also want to thank our wonderful emcee JD Roth and his wife Chrissy Roth.

We also want to thank our generous sponsors, donors, volunteers, board members and friends who contributed to this event with their financial support, services and goods.

If you were not able to attend this year, please Save the Date for next year. We will celebrate our second annual Farm to Table Benefit on May 2nd, 2015.
