I wanted to share this wonderful video clip from a few of the many children you have helped us provide lunches for in South Africa.

Together with your support of our Facebook “Like for a Lunch” program in June and our “Buy a Box Give a Lunch” program in May, we have already provided over 40,000 lunches to The Lunchbox Fund! Thank you so much!

Look for more promotions this fall as we work together with our customers and The Lunchbox Fund to help create a world in which no child goes hungry.

–Veronica Bosgraaf, Pure Bar Founder

This year’s event took place at Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Center in New York City, and was a joint event between The Lunchbox Fund, and their new partner, The Ubuntu Education Fund. The event was a huge success, raising over $70,000 for impoverished South African school children. It was a magical evening, punctuated with stellar performances that included musicians such as The Gift Horse Project with Karen Elson, Zac Hanson, Rain Phoenix and the legendary The Roots, as well as a sold out raffle benefitting the charities.

As one of the event’s sponsors, we were so pleased to share our passion to better the world, as well as our Pure Bars with the over 400 attendees, including notable guests Donna Karan, Salman Rushdie, Spike Jonze, Michael Stipe, Estelle, Ty Pennington, and more. But for us at Pure Bar, the most inspiring part of the evening was seeing people from all walks of life come together to help put an end to childhood hunger. We couldn’t’ think of a better way to spend a spring evening!

If you want your child to truly eat healthy, and like it, at school. Substitute this deceiving food/drink with that… (this list might surprise you):

Seemingly Good, but REALLY Bad: Fruit Roll Up
Better: Pure Organic Apple Cinnamon Bar
Why: The 1st ingredient in Pure is fruit, so is 2nd… Sure, a Fruit Roll Up has some fruit. Along with corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, coloring, flavoring, and lots of things I can’t pronounce.
