A fundraiser celebrating 10 Years of the civil rights & environmental justice organization Young, Gifted & Green. Join Young, Gifted & Green to celebrate 10 years in the Movement for a #LeadFreeUSA and Environmental Justice!
Young, Gifted & Green (formerly Black Millennials 4 Flint), started as a community outreach project in the wake of the Flint Water Crisis with Thursday Network–Greater Washington Urban League Young Professionals. We were officially founded in Washington, DC on February 10, 2016, and we have been blessed to expand our work nationally.
This fundraising event will feature dinner, music by DJ Marvelous & a violin feature by Candice Mott, a silent auction, a cash bar, a photo booth, and a wonderful celebration of Black Excellence. This esteemed event will also honor the lives of Congressmen Donald McEachin & Raul Grijalva with acknowledgement of remarkable EJ leaders upholding their legacy for cleaner and healthier environments with inductees into the Grijalva-McEachin Legacy Circle along with Inaugural Noir et Vert Award Honorees for Lifetime Achievement & Changemaker.
Special Guests: Mari Copeny (AKA “Little Miss Flint”), Dr. Wes Bellamy, AND MORE!
Tickets: $100 to $1000+. All proceeds benefit Young, Gifted, & Green.
