Energy Ball is ReThink Energy Florida's Annual Fundraiser in support of our Youth Education and SEED Programs. There will be food, drinks, music, dancing, a silent auction, and a green costume contest! Live music will be provided by Tallahassee's "Revival"

The funds raised support Energy Camp and the ReThink Science Engagement Program that provides STEM-based school and afterschool projects and instruction. The after-school program was created because our energy camp has been such a success that we were inspired to provide similar experiences year-round. ReThink Energy project managers lead students through hands-on activities such as building solar bugs and testing soil and air.

Your support continues the good work done by our SEED Project – bringing solar power to low-and middle-income Neighborhoods in Tallahassee.
