BROOKLYN (November 15, 2013) -- In The Raw®, a Brooklyn based brand of 100% natural premium sweeteners, has become the presenting sponsor of the BROOKLYN FAMILYTM programming franchise at Barclays Center. BROOKLYN FAMILY events include Disney on Ice, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Cirque du Soleil.

In The Raw, a family-owned company which began with Sugar In The Raw in 1970, has grown with the rising demand for natural, wholesome ingredients, and now offers four different sweetener options.
