Thank you to everyone who joined us for our in-person and online benefit and auction. Your support has helped us to raise more than $125,000!

Each year, on or around October 25th, we celebrate the 5% Giving Day in Whole Foods Market stores in 2005 which raised seed capital for Whole Planet Foundation. We call this anniversary "Poverty is Unnecessary Day" because of the words of Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, Noble Peace Prize Laureate and initial advisor to Whole Planet Foundation.

This event is where we recognize and raise a glass to everyone who has helped us fund nearly $108 million since 2006, creating 7 million loans for microentrepreneurs and their families.
