On Thursday October 6, Slide Ranch is transforming the hottest new event space in San Francisco, The Pearl, into a rock and roll rooftop bar, farm-to-table picnic, and concert stage to celebrate our 2016 Silver Trowel honoree, James “JC” Curleigh. JC, who is President at Levi’s, shares our commitment to harnessing the power of nature without destroying it. He is a member of the team that is leading the pioneering efforts at Levi Strauss to reduce the use of natural resources and decrease the environmental footprint of the apparel industry.
The event will also feature a performance by a special guest musical superstar.
Dinner will be an interactive experience catered by Estate Events by Meadowood of Napa Valley, home of one of the finest restaurants in California.
All proceeds from the event will benefit our Planting Kids in Nature programs that provide day and overnight field trips to Slide Ranch to 10,000 children, youth and families each year.
Tickets are $501 per person and sponsorships begin at $5,000. Click here to purchase your tickets today!

Leadership Donor Thank You Day - May 31, 2014
Almost 100 of Slide Ranch's most generous donors and their families, joined our staff and Teachers-in-Residence for a fun-filled family farm day, on May 31.
First stop at our annual Leadership Donor Thank You event was the "Welcome Circle". Overlooking the ocean, our teachers welcomed all of our guests and took them through the three essential components of a Slide Ranch experience: learn something new, get dirty and have fun! They rounded off the welcome circle with one of Slide Ranch's songs - a tribute and pledge to love and respect the land and all life.
Teacher-in-Residence, Elena, leads the group in song!
Following the Welcome Circle, guests took part in an array of activities that gave them a chance to plant and harvest food, make salsa, create their own flower crowns, learn how to grow an urban garden, and more.
Friends of the Slide Ranch, Marshall Monroe and Zach Ostroff, provided the mellow musical backdrop to lunch. Everyone enjoyed a wholesome meal catered by Small Blue Planet Events, with vegetables for the burritos and salad greens picked fresh from our garden. Wine was generously donated by Cynthia Lohr of J.Lohr Winery and Suzette and Jeff Clarke.
All in all it was a wonderful day and it gave everyone a chance to meet their fellow Slide Ranch supporters. Thank you to all of our donors! Without your generous gifts, we wouldn't be able to "Plant Kids in Nature" and inspire the environmental stewards of tomorrow.
