YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! Our 2021 Impact Report
Thanks to all who have reached out recently. Each and every day our inboxes fill and snail mail continues to arrive – we thank you and we appreciate you. The outpouring of love has been amazing. While we continue to mourn and cope with the ongoing complexities of life, make no doubt about it: WE REMAIN STRONGER TOGETHER! We thank you and we appreciate you.
Speaking of stronger together, this month we are rolling out a new cohort of 30 schools across the country in partnership with Quest Diagnostics® dedicated to Cultivating Health Equity. Imagine: 30 new classrooms complete with Green Bronx Machine Curriculum, a Tower Garden®, classroom supplies, fully trained teachers, and all connected to one another via the internet. Overseas, we will be connecting additional Bronx schools with partner schools, with the ultimate goal of connecting 1 MILLION STUDENTS globally for dual and shared learning. Talk about inspiring healthy living and learning – our children and teachers are so excited! This is the impact we dream of and the movement this moment calls for.
Speaking of impact, 2021 saw Green Bronx Machine receive numerous awards and accolades, including Classy’s 2021 Social Innovation Award, Controlled Environment Agriculture’s Disruptor Award, National Life Group Foundation’s LifeChanger of the Year Award, TMZ’s COVID Food Hero, and appearances in a BBC Film Feature, the Tamron Hall Show, El Capitan’s Interview with Mayor Eric Adams, the amazing testimony of El Capitan to US House of Representatives, and so much more. Building for the future, we even completed a five year strategic plan in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers. To that end, we are PROUD TO SHARE OUR 2021 IMPACT REPORT with you!
If not us, who? If not now, when? From the Bronx, to the world, all of this amazing impact happens because of kind donors and supporters like you. You are the lifeblood of our work and we thank you and we appreciate you. We can’t stop, we won’t stop! And it all starts with you. Please continue to support our work today!
