The event of a lifetime is here: the Green Bronx Machine GROWING SOMETHING GREATER GALA on October 9, 2023 from 5-9 PM!

They will be converting the historic and iconic Inside Park at Saint Bart’s on Park Ave, NYC, into a replica of a classroom complete with gardens and kitchen! Join Team GBM and NYC Mayor Eric Adams, NYC Schools Chancellor David C. Banks, New York State Education Commissioner Dr. Betty Rosa, and major media for an evening of exquisite food, signature cocktails and mocktails, friend-raising, fundraising, live-auction, and fellowship to celebrate high performing schools and happy, healthy children along with seven GAME CHANGING AWARD WINNERS! There are so many ways to get involved, click on the flyer below to learn more.

To think, what started as an after-school program for 17 overage, under-credited youth has evolved into an award-winning, nationally acclaimed program touching hundreds of schools and thousands of children and teachers is proof that with community, anything is possible; from the Bronx, to the world. Never has the need or the opportunity been greater. From the humble corner of the globe, they are determined to change the world.

Today, I am humbly seeking your support. Whether you can join us or not, we’re seeking sponsors, journal / program advertisements, items for auction, or you can simply donate and help us make the evening a success as we seek to expand our programming across NYC, the nation, and MAKE EPIC HAPPEN! Please reach out to me directly, and I hope to see you on October 9, 2023! – Stephen Ritz
