Pay it Forward, Get it Back in San Francisco
13 October 2010
As the nation’s largest sustainability event, Green Festival seeks not only to bring an amazing weekend of education and fun to each city, but also to leave a lasting impact. We are always looking for new ways to connect and empower communities. This fall is no exception as we proudly unveil the “Pay it Forward, Get it Back at Green Festival” campaign to unite with local nonprofit organizations and reward local people who take an active interest in their communities.
Our “nonprofit allies” are a mixture of amazing organizations dedicated to improving the environment, providing social services, educating youth, securing a safe and just workspace and more. As we strive to recover during these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever to pay it forward, even if all we can give is our time.
