Join Full Circle Fund nonprofit partner GRID Alternatives for Plug In to GRID! - an exclusive afternoon party on Sunday, May 31 at Google’s solar-powered carport at their Mountain View Campus. In addition to several of our members serving on the host committee, Full Circle Fund’s project team has been helping organize this event, which is an opportunity to learn about plug-in vehicles while raising money to bring renewable energy to low-income families. Says Project Team Member Beth Trask,
Plug-in to GRID is a fantastic way for Full Circle Fund members to support one of our high-impact grantees. It’s guaranteed to be a fun networking party. Most importantly, this event will raise funds needed to bring renewable energy to low-income families.
GRID will have dozens of electric vehicles on hand to check out and in some cases test ride or test drive - high-end sportscars like the Tesla Roadster, futuristic prototypes displayed by Stanford and PG&E, plug-in hybrid conversions, motorcycles, scooters, neighborhood electric vehicles and much more. Also featured will be leaders from the venture capital and EV worlds on hand to talk about the future of electric transportation, including Full Circle Fund Co-Founder and Board President Josh Becker from New Cycle Capital; Sherry Boschert from Plug In America; Anup Jacob from Virgin Green Fund; John Suh from GM Advanced Technology Silicon Valley; and Saul Zambrano from PG&E’s Clean Air Transportation Program.
The event also includes drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction. Tickets must be purchased in advance - space is limited and this event will sell out. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit GRID’s website. All proceeds support GRID Alternatives’ work bringing renewable energy to low-income communities throughout California.
