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 host 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!
