Since walking into Candle Cafe and spotting a postcard with kids, crayons and food all over it (a few of my favorite things in life) about four years ago, I have been volunteering at at the annual benefit and involved as much as possible (a portion of proceeds from Be Well with Arielle will be donated to WITS). http://www.wellnessintheschools.org/ – (WITS), a non-profit community based organization founded in 2005 in order to improve the environment, nutrition, and fitness in NYC public schools. In an effort to combat childhood obesity and improve school environments, WITS developed Cook for Kids, Coach for Kids, and Green for Kids, three NYC based programs poised for replication nationwide. They have also teamed up with http://nysunworks.org/index.php/the-greenhouse-project/ to raise money for an environmental science lab and greenhouse on the roof of P.S. 333.
Come to the Fundraising Event for a Healthy Environment and Healthy Children
Join Lauren Bacall and Ann Brashares for a benefit to improve environmental science education through a hands-on integrated curriculum and professional development and to develop health and wellness programs throughout the NYC Public Schools. I’ll be there checking people in..and the iloveme ring will be up for silent auction!
