Taste of Green Fundraiser 2018 is set to satisfy your appetite on Thursday, October 25, 2018, with proceeds benefiting St. Louis Earth Day programs, Green Dining Alliance and Recycling On the Go.
Green Dining Alliance is the premier restaurant sustainability certification program in the nation. Restaurants are shown how to reduce their environmental impact by completing an on-site audit that evaluates all areas of operations, and set personalized goals with each Member. There are over 100 members in the Green Dining Alliance, which is growing each week.
Recycling On the Go is the first recycling program in St. Louis to assist event organizers with recycling and composting the overwhelming amount of waste that is created by any size event. Recycling On the Go serves about 110 events in the St. Louis Metro Area.
The fundraiser spotlights Green Dining Alliance restaurants and breweries with samples of their signature dishes and brews from 6:00 to 9:00pm. DJs, Makeda Kravitz and Orlandez will spin a magical evening of old school hits and current grooves for everyone to enjoy.
Taste of Green’s Silent Auction will not disappoint, featuring one of a kind gift baskets, unique experience occasions and locally made items for bid. Fish Eye Fun photos are once again scheduled to create wacky memories of an actual FUN fundraiser!
All will take place in the eclectic Willow event space, 321 N. 10th Street, located next door to Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar. Both Willow and Bridge Tap House are the invention of the Bailey’s Restaurant group, and proud Green Dining Alliance members and event sponsors.
