This year we're hoping to up the sustainability factor of the Carolinas' Green Gala by tracking and off-setting our carbon footprint. A special thank you to Bank of America and Ingersoll Rand for being our Sustainability Sponsor!
To help minimize our carbon production, we're encouraging green travel choices like walking, biking or using public transit. You won't find plastic straws at our bars, and we'll be serving local beers from kegs to reduce glass in our waste stream. These measures are all in addition to our standard green event policies, which include local food and beverage sourcing, avoiding cut flowers, and reusable serving ware.
​
Together, our volunteer Green Gala committee and USGBC staff have worked to create an event that not only celebrates local achievements in sustainability but also exemplifies best practices in green event planning. So, start making your plans to attend our biggest fundraiser of the year and register now!
