In exchange, MIXT encourages guests to donate to Blue Watermelon Project to keep the joy of healthy eating going. MIXT chose Blue Watermelon Project to benefit from this day of giving because it believes in creating healthy, delicious food as a force for good.

Blue Watermelon Project, led by James Beard Award-winner and Chef of FnB Restaurant, Charleen Badman, is a grassroots group of chefs, restaurateurs, farmers and community food advocates that seek to rethink our relationship with food, starting with school lunches. Blue Watermelon Project works with kids K-12 to integrate taste education and hands-on cooking and growing into their curriculum, teaching them to eat healthier and understand the source of their food.
