Farmers Formal 2014: Rooted in Ferguson

The 7th annual Farmers Formal, November 8th, kicked off exciting premieres: an honorary event chair, Cat Neville of Feast, new venue, the Sheet Metal Workers Grand Hall, and speeches from 3 of our Junior Farm Crew participants. The $103,000 raised makes this year’s FARMraiser our most successful to date! To all of our sponsors and donors, we were humbled by your incredible generosity. To our event attendees, your smiles made the evening as special as it was successful.

We are grateful for the amazing work of so many people who helped our biggest night of the year come together!
