Sweet was established in April 2008 by Shannon Wentworth and Jen Rainen as a travel agency dedicated to offering environmentally conscious vacation experiences and tours tailored for the lesbian community. The company’s purpose is to deliver trips that inspire participants to fulfill their personal ambitions, career objectives, and charitable initiatives. Travelers who join Sweet, affectionately called "Sweeties," have collectively donated over $500,000 in funds and contributions, planted more than 6,200 trees, cleared 407 bags of litter from beaches, and restored five educational institutions and recreational areas. In alignment with its commitment to sustainability, Sweet has collaborated with CarbonFund.org to help reforest a region adjacent to Louisiana’s Tensas River.
Entertainers featured at Sweet’s gatherings have included comedians such as Suzanne Westenhoefer, Fortune Feimster, Bridget McManus, Jennie McNulty, Sandra Valls, Gloria Bigelow, along with vocalists Jen Foster and Edie Carey.
