Sprouts! for Earth Day 2010!

There's no better time than the present to Go Green! In observance of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the Office Depot Foundation turned to Sprouts! for a unique and environmentally friendly way to share their green message. Sprouts created a collection of four colorful bookmarks made from its Plantable Seed Paper for the Office Depot Foundation to distribute to the community.

Office Depot is known throughout the world as a company with a heart. Throughout their history, they have distinguished themselves through their support of charitable organizations and worthy causes on a local and national scale.

Sprouts! & Florida Classical Ballet Theatre Create Partnership

Sprouts! is proud to help raise funds and awareness for Florida Classical Ballet Theatre through the sales of beautiful custom Plantable Seed Paper note cards.

The Florida Classical Ballet Theatre, a non-profit ballet company committed to preserving the art of classical ballet, enriching our community through the beauty of ballet, and impacting young lives through the discipline of dance, partnered with Sprouts because they were looking for both an eco friendly and unique fundraising program.

Sprouts collaborated with the Florida Classical Ballet Theatre to create exquisite custom Plantable Seed Paper note cards for their fundraiser. The note cards are available for purchase on Sprouts website. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the notecards will be donated to Florida Classical Ballet Theatre.
