Community Benefit Dinner: Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan
Granor Farm is fortunate to be rooted in a region supported by a variety of organizations devoted to improving the common good. Granor’s “Community Benefit Dinner” series connects diners with regional place-makers with Granor Farm as a philanthropic partner. Our program begins with a discussion orientated around the organization and how it connects to the region, followed by a multi-course meal showcasing ingredients grown by Granor.

Join us for an evening in support of Girls on the Run (GOTR) Southwest Michigan. Girls on the Run is an after-school youth development program designed for girls in 3rd-8th grade, whose Southwest Michigan chapter serves participants throughout Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. GOTR strives to foster confidence and physical and mental well-being in young girls using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates movement.
Founded in 2011, Girls on the Run's Southwest Michigan chapter has served over 5,000 girls since its inception. Girls on the Run is much more than just a running club; their research-based curriculum utilizes physical movement, group discussions, and community impact projects to address a variety of issues facing young girls. GOTR's eight-week program concludes in a chapter-wide 5K to celebrate the achievements of their participants across Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. Your support allows the organization to continue to be accessible to all girls, regardless of income.
This event will begin with a welcome drink and a conversation with Colby Wittman, the Executive Director of Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan. She will discuss GOTR's history, their current programming and plans for the future, and how best to support their work within our communities.
Immediately after the talk, a multi-course dinner featuring crops grown by Granor will be served in our Greenhouse.
This ticket includes a $100 donation to Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan that will be collected at the time of booking. Guests are encouraged to wear their running shoes! Please know we are not a restaurant open to the public. All dinners are ticketed by advance reservation only and include beverage pairings. No outside alcohol is allowed.
