Next Deadline

February 26, 2010 - Strolling of the Heifers Microloan Fund for New England Farmers Application Deadline

Oarganic Fuel at the Head of the Charles Regatta

Pete and Gerry's partnered with Barowsky's Organic Bread and Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt to sponsor the first Big Organic Breakfast Bar at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. We served athletes and spectators a nutritious, all-organic breakfast with the proceeds going to an innovative Boston-area nonprofit, The Carrot Project, that creates financing solutions for small and mid-sized farms.

Two professional chefs prepared the food, and volunteers from The Carrot Project served the customers. In spite of the inclement weather, we raised over $3200 for this deserving group.

The Head of the Charles Regatta is the world's largest rowing event, attracting 3,000 athletes and 200,000 spectators from around the world. more
