NEW YORK, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pop.Earth announced today that Chef Franklin Becker has joined it's Board of Directors. Chef Becker has raised millions for Autism and his dedication to helping those affected by it is undeniable. "Providing services on a community level for low cost to free is what we strive for. Having Chef Becker, who has worked so tirelessly in his commitment to Autism, support what we do is truly redeeming," said Debbie Stone, Founder and Creative Director of Pop.Earth. Added Stone: "It's nice to know that there are high profile individuals out there like Franklin who recognize and believe in ambitious charities like Pop.Earth."
Franklin Becker is on a roll as he grows his widely successful "Little Beet" brand, penned his latest cookbook "Good Fat Cooking," launched Hungry Root and opened his sit down restaurant "Little Beet Table" in NYC. Impressive but, it takes a back seat to his family, primarily his son Sean who has Autism.
"My son's well being and the well being of all children who have disabilities is a major concern of mine. I am passionate about making sure these children have the best opportunities for the future. Pop.Earth's commitment to the community is one that I greatly admire. I am very proud to join the Board." – Franklin Becker
