Our team at Modern Estates sends its sincere best wishes to the very kind sponsors and about 80 guests of last night’s fundraiser for GrowingGreat at Bodega Santa Monica.  Due to the generosity of the silent auction sponsors Babakul at Fred Segal, Equinox Santa Monica, OrganicsRX, Love This Planet, The Art of Shaving – Beverly Hills, Cooking Italiano For Kids, http://365Hangers.com, and ClickedPR (ExhaleSpa gift card), Pure Bar,  who donated thousands of dollars worth of products, and the very generous guests who extended their hearts and wallets for a successful and really fun evening.

Here is a little picture collage from the GrowingGreat fundraiser, which we hope you will share with your friends:

Modern Estates organizes philanthropic events every so often as a way to positively impact the community that it serves.  GrowingGreat was selected for its great work in educating kids on how to eat healthy, and live healthy lives, by growing gardens in their schools.  Studies have also shown that outdoor school gardens are a successful way to teach kids discipline, and also math and science: a multi-decade study was conducted on 40 schools around the nation that have campus gardens. The study found an increase in standardized test scores and an improvement in the behavior of children that participated in the school gardens (source: UrbanHarvest.org).
