The disco beats were pumping from the Community Arts Workshop as guests arrived in sequins, bell-bottoms, and wild colors for Rooted Santa Barbara County’s first Annual Kale Disco on April 5, 2025 in Santa Barbara. Hosted by celebrity guest Duane Henry, the gala evening featured plant-forward dining from Palma Catering, an exciting live auction and a delicious dessert auction with auctioneer Tina Ballue, and plenty of sparkling fun!
Rooted presented the Roots to Reach Award to the Santa Barbara Foundation for its continuing support as fiscal sponsor of our startup organization. «The Santa Barbara Foundation is delighted to receive the Roots to Reach Award from Rooted Santa Barbara County,» said Santa Barbara Foundation President and CEO Jackie Carrera. «What has been equally delightful is to watch this new organization develop and grow into a strong advocate for food as medicine within our community. Executive Lead Beth Skidmore and her board and volunteers have really offered a masterclass in so many areas of non-profit organizational development. And also now I know how to make a meal out of a can of beans, a can of corn, and some salsa!»
Proceeds from the event, totaling over $50,000, will support Rooted’s educational and outreach programs.
