Organic inspiration, organic food, organic fun

The Organic Center’s 16th Annual Benefit Dinneris the biggest all-organic dinner and premier executive-level networking event at Natural Products Expo West. Hundreds of organic visionaries, activists and businesses will come together to enjoy an organic feast, created by Chef Megan Mitchell, and raise money to support the latest science on the environmental and health benefits of organic food and farming.

The keynote speaker this year is entrepreneur and organic food advocate Shannon Allen. Shannon, wife of two-time NBA champion Ray Allen, is the creator and owner of the thriving all-organic fast-food restaurant chain grown™.

In addition, The Organic Center will recognize environmental health scientist Dr. Asa Bradman with its Award of Excellence during the annual benefit dinner. Dr. Bradman has co-authored some of the most important work on the impacts of pesticides on the health of pregnant women and children in agricultural communities, with several studies showing links between higher organophosphate pesticide exposure during pregnancy and poorer neurodevelopment in children.

The event is expected to sell-out. A limited number of tickets are still available, and can be purchased online.
