Farm Sanctuary Hosts Celebration for the Turkeys and Thanksgiving Brunch at Tavern on the Green in NYC
Join Farm Sanctuary in NYC on Nov. 22 for a compassionate Thanksgiving celebration replete
with sumptuous holiday fare, an inspiring program, and a silent auction to benefit our
sanctuaries’ rescued animals and satisfy all your holiday shopping needs!
Best-selling author of “Everything is Illuminated” and captivating storyteller Jonathan
Safran Foer will offer a special reading from his new book “Eating Animals” (just released on
Nov. 2), which has been featured recently in the New York Times and on CNN and is quickly gaining
national acclaim. Presentations will follow from EcoHero host and Vegan Russell Simmons, Farm
Sanctuary President and Co-founder Gene Baur, Executive Director Dr. Allan Kornberg, and National
Shelter Director Susie Coston.
In good company with special guests Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed, Mary and Peter Max, Ally
Sheedy, and our dedicated Host Committee, attendees will enjoy an intimate, family-style vegan
Thanksgiving brunch in the enchanting Crystal Room at New York City’s landmark Tavern on the
Green in Central Park. The decadent menu has been designed by the chefs at renowned vegan
restaurant Candle 79.
Festivities will culminate in a Holiday Dessert Reception featuring fall-themed creations from the area’s
favorite vegan pastry chefs, spiced cider, hot cocoa, and holiday nog. This event is a perfect chance to
gather with friends new and old, meet like-minded people and celebrate the spirit of compassion this
holiday season!
Noon – 5 p.m. Seating is limited – reserve your place today! Tickets are $150 per person. Sponsorship
opportunities are also available. Even if you cannot attend this event, please support Farm Sanctuary
