continued from previous page
Johnson Matthey, Downingtown for this gift. Watch for their
employees to continue their work by volunteering in the community,
engaging with local students about sustainability
applied to science, and on their bikes once again in support of
PASA at this year’s fifth annual Bike Fresh Bike Local event!
● Harrison’s Wine Grill & Catering
While PASA members and supporters
traveled into State College for the 21st
Annual Farming for the Future Conference,
Harrison’s Wine Grill & Catering of
State College, decided to take part by
donating 20% of meal proceeds when
patrons mentioned PASA. As a result of
their generosity, this fundraiser
brought in over $200 in funds for
PASA. We give a special thank you to Harrison’s for their continued
and loyal support!
● Slow Food Philadelphia
PASA’s Eastern Regional staff partnered with Slow Food®
Philadelphia in December to host a seminar at The Restaurant
School. The Slow Food movement was founded in 1989 to
counter the fast food trend. This educational organization is dedicated
to the stewardship of the land, food production, the revival
of the kitchen and table and of the education of consumers on
their food choices. Slow Food agreed to share 50% of the proceeds
of the evening resulting in a $390 donation to PASA.
