Bently Holdings is a long time supporter of Global Green, the pioneering national organization focused on curbing Global Warming, eliminating weapons of mass destruction and providing clean, safe drinking water for those who lack it. More recently Global Green has engaged in the largest green rebuilding effort in New Orleans using all sustainable building materials and responsible practices. Christopher and Amber Marie Bently sit on the Global Green fund raising committee and look for ways to further the effort and reach of Global Greens actions.

On December 18th, 2007 saw the evolution of one of San Francisco’s hottest tickets, the Global Green eco-fabulous fundraiser at the Bently Reserve. The event now in it’s 3rd year was hosted at the Bently Reserve once more and had everything from organic tequila bars to an all natural fashion couture fashion show. Guests were joined by Jason Lewis, Josie Maran, Deepak Chopra, Jason Behr, and Michelle Branch. Special guests were treated to a special acoustic set by Michelle Branch during a private dinner before the party. This year record funds were raised to further the efforts of the California green schools initiative and the green building of New Orleans.

On December 12th, 2006 the Bently’s hosted the San Francisco Global Green fundraising event, Gorgeous and Green at the Bently Reserve. The Bently’s along with celebrity hosts Leonardo DiCaprio, Salma Hayek, Kevin Connelly, Mia Maestro, Lukas Haas, Gael Garcia Bernal, Orlando Bloom, William McDonough, Jonny Moseley and many more all worked to heighten the awareness of issues tackled by the organization. It was a night to remember with many green businesses presenting alternative ways to sustainable lifestyles among a gorgeous decor and cocktails. Our own sister company, Bently Biofuels was also on site demonstrating the use and benefits of biodiesel alongside the new all electric Tesla super car.
