YOUNG PROFESSIONAL KICK OFF EVENT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Earth Day Texas is proud to announce the launch of their Young Professionals Group and Kick Off party for the 2016 Earth Day Texas event. EDTx has recruited over 20 outstanding leaders in the community to establish and launch this Young Professional group. EDTx YP committee wants to create a place where smart and successful YPs can come together and support efforts that positively effect our environment. The EDTx YP Committee is thrilled to have partnered up with the Dallas Farmers Market! The brand new Dallas Farmers Market is beautiful and a perfect place to give new EDTx YP members a VIP look at the new facilities and vendors. This event will not only celebrate the inaugural EDTx YP event but a new chapter in the DFM history. The EDTx YP members will reach out to thousands of young professionals in the DFW area and hope to sign up 500+ new members!

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL KICK OFF EVENT

Doors will be open from 6 - 9 PM. Memberships are $60; Presale online are $40; Pay at the door for $50 Members will receive a free reusable tote with coupons for select vendors’ goods. The DFM closes at 5 PM but our guests will have VIP access to all the vendors as well as information from local farmers on sustainable farming practices. This event will have live music and complimentary parking.

Earth Day Texas is the world’s largest annual public environmental event dedicated to education, awareness, discovery, entertainment, and inspiration. Trammell S. Crow founded Earth Day Texas in 2010 in an effort to create in Dallas a world class public event dedicated to raising awareness for all things related to conservation and sustainability. This three-day event and exhibition is held each year at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas and is a fun and inspirational forum for sharing the latest discoveries, innovations, and initiatives that are reshaping our world. Programming includes speakers, workshops, art exhibits, interactive experiences, ride & drives, live music, and sustainable cuisine and beer pavilions. We expect organizers expect the event will feature 1,500 exhibit spaces, 200+ speakers and panel members, and over 75,000 attendees. In addition, we are thrilled to have partnered with EMA (Environmental Media Association). The Environmental Media Association is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 by Cindy and Alan Horn and Lyn and Norman Lear. EMA works with the entertainment industry to encourage green production and raise the public’s environmental awareness. For the first time, EMA is teaming up with EDTx and bringing their celebrity membership to Dallas.
