Events
Throughout the year, Forty Carrots celebrates its mission and its sponsors with events both extravagant and educational, fun and fulfilling.
Club Forty
The lastest hip, elegant event to hit the Sarasota scene, Club Forty combines a stylish cafe, bar and dance floor with a spectacular silent auction for an evening as cool as a Manhattan lounge. Club Forty attracts Sarasota's sought after up-and-coming professional crowd, and sponsors and contributors receive exposure to these prominent and powerful young go-getters.
Community Speaker Event
Every year Forty Carrots gives more than 1,000 parents, caregivers, and educators the opportunity to attend an expert led educational seminar for free. Many attendees are professionals and teachers from Sarasota and surrounding counties who will go on to share the day's lessons with innumerable local families. Thus, with the help of event sponsors, Forty Carrots is able to create waves of positive influence that carry throughout the community and beyond. As a free service to the community, the event is embraced by the media and receives extensive magazine, newspaper and television coverage.

One of Sarasota's most stylish affairs, Wine, Women & Shoes is a chic, three-part event inviting upscale fashionistas to kick up their heels while sipping fine wines and shopping for high-end shoes.
