Sustainable Enterprise 2008 recognizes the imperative for businesses and events such as ours to not only reduce our carbon impact, but also to offset where possible. One way of doing this is by purchasing carbon offsets. A range of options are available to offset carbon impacts, many of them supporting projects around the globe that sequester or decrease carbon emissions.

We have chosen to calculate our impact and donate the amount required for offsetting to a very local community-based organization that is restoring a local creek through tree-planting and other projects.

Join us. 100% of the revenue from our raffle will go to the Cotati Creek Critters and support their ongoing efforts to remediate Cotati’s reach of the Laguna de Santa Rosa. In addition, their work actively enhances the creek’s walkways and bicycle path creating an urban greenway for all to enjoy. Cotati Creek Critters is fiscally sponsored by the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Participants can purchase raffle tickets at the registration/information desk. In addition, volunteers will be selling them throughout the day.

Raffle prizes include gift baskets, gift certificates for overnight stays, cheese, wine and more generously donated by local vendors.
