The Washington, D.C.-based Organic Center’s 15th Annual Benefit Dinner, March 8 in Anaheim, Calif., raised $450,000 for the organization.
The event was held during Natural Products Expo West, according to a news release.
Jennifer Garner, actress and co-founder of organic baby food company Once Upon a Farm, was the guest speaker at the event, which this year had the theme of “Bringing Science to Life,” according to the release.
“We’re thrilled with the enthusiasm and support of all the stakeholders who were here, and the inspiration we experience every year at this premier networking event at West,” Todd Linsky, president of The Organic Center’s board of trustees, said in the release.
“This is a celebration of the great work of The Organic Center, which advances and communicates organic’s benefits to the health of people and our planet.”
The event featured an organic meal by chef Matthew Raiford, live entertainment, and a benefit raffle with a grand prize of an organic mattress, according to the release.
