Then at 3:30 p.m. the Mayor will stop by Fuel Pizza in the Hearst Tower at the corner of 6th and College. He will visit with students from Winterfield Elementary who are participating in Fuel Pizza’s “Field to Fork” program.  The program is a six-month partnership between Fuel, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the County Health Department. It provides seed money for local schools. The schools then take the money and start their own pizza gardens with tomatoes, spinach, basil and other items.

The partnership is designed to help fight obesity. It was inspired by Michelle Obama’s White House garden.
