The night will offer food, from acclaimed Chef JJ Johnson, drinks, and an auction. Just trust us when we say there will be good vibes in the building. Proceeds from the night will go directly to BCCC, a wonderful nonprofit based in Brownsville, Brooklyn that is trying to fight food injustice in the community. It's an organization that provides healthy food options for the neighborhood; it also offers a job program which trains community members to find careers in the food industry.
We are proud to announce that we are one of the event partners, alongside Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn Brewery, CxRA and more:
