- Levy partners with “Rock and Wrap it Up,” an award-winning anti-poverty program that collects all prepared and unserved food from events and donates the food to local shelters in need. Last year they were able to collect 1,247lbs of food from University of Colorado, that is enough to feed 1,188 meals and saves 774.86lbs of CO2e gas from going into the atmosphere by avoiding a landfill.
- Levy has a great partnership with University of Colorado’s on-campus organization, Ralphie’s Green Stampede, a zero-waste initiative. In 2018, we swapped bottled sodas for canned sodas to reduce plastics usage and to reach our goal of being plastic free by 2020. In 2019, we are eliminating all straws and have introduced an aluminum cup that is 100% recyclable being the first of its kind in the nation.
- Levy partners with University of Colorado on providing concessions to under privileged youth attending home football games. We also donate suite tickets to charitable organizations throughout the year and management staff donates time at the local food bank.
