Sweet on Summer raises money for City Growers, a New York City-based nonprofit with unique programming that uses nontraditional urban green spaces to teach young people about food, health, and the natural world. Focusing on pollination and the thriving urban ecosystem, we create programs built around equity, justice, and creating the next generation of environmental leaders.
The evening will include:
Cocktails from Catskill Provisions Distillery, beer from Brooklyn Brewery, and wine — all with an amazing view
A farm-to-table dinner cooked by Night Kitchen Catering
Silent Auction of an array of items from cookware to airline tickets!
City Growers Youth Ambassadors will show guests how urban farms operate and share their experiences in City Growers programs.
About City Growers:
City Growers is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization based in New York City. Rooted in experiential learning theory, our programs use urban agriculture to close fundamental gaps in the experiences of city kids: exploration of the natural world and understanding of where our food comes from.
From field trips to after school, City Growers’ programs engage thousands of kids in farm-based learning each year through our hands-on farm workshops at Brooklyn Grange rooftop farms, summer camps, school garden residencies, after school programs, summer internships, and ecology workshops. Our annual City Growers Education Conference brings garden- and farm-based educators together to share best practices in the field. City Growers is committed to providing and expanding access to experiential environmental and food education to kids in New York City and beyond.
