The Fund for Santa Barbara community of supporters raised nearly $175,000 for the Fund for Santa Barbara's Grant-Making and Technical Assistance Programs at Bread & Roses 2012.

It took the participation of hundreds of sponsors, donors, volunteers and guests, and we just want to say THANK YOU.

(see page 3 in the current issue of the Santa Barbara Independent)

Here are a few highlights of this year's event:

THE NUMBERS

Each year, we strive to make Bread & Roses fun, accessible AND a highly effective fundraiser. This works because nearly everything that goes into creating the event is donated.

In 2012, we raised nearly $175,000 and spent less than $25,000. This means that more than 85 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the work of the FUND.

NO WASTE

Thanks once again to GreenProject Consultants, Bread & Roses was as green as it gets with 99% of all event waste diverted from the landfill. That’s right - 99% of all items used at the event were reused, recycled or composted.
