5th Annual Taste of the Garden
September 19, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Do you like enjoying great food while supporting an excellent cause? How about an open bar? Then we hope you will join us for Kid Power’s 5th Annual Taste of the Garden benefit featuring a youth cooking competition and silent auction.
To help us celebrate our 15th Anniversary we are honoring Seth Goldman, Co-founder & TeaEO Emeritus of Honest Tea. Seth’s commitment to healthy living, environmental sustainability, and entrepreneurism is truly inspiring and we are thrilled he will join us in our shared endeavor to build stronger and healthier communities.
Kid Power students will team up with renowned Washington, DC chefs to compete for the Champion of Health Award to be judged by YOU! We hope you will join us for an open bar, entertainment, award presentation, a silent raffle, music and of course- delicious food!
Proceeds will support Kid Power’s award-winning VeggieTime program which seeks to create a sustainable community where DC youth and their families have regular access to local produce and effect change in the larger food delivery system. Students connect a STEM curriculum to hands-on gardening, cooking, market, and service activities. Currently, the program serves 425 students after-school and 800 during the school day. Your support at Kid Power’s 5th Annual Taste of the Garden event will help Kid Power continue to provide innovative and transformative programs for DC youth!
