Annie’s Hope - The Center for Grieving Kids is preparing for our 9th annual evening of chocolate tasting. The Chocolate Affair returns on April 15th, 2023, and it will be better than ever! 

This year, we are partnering with Willow, an elegant city venue that offers seating for all guests, savory appetizers served butler-style, and full bar service. As always, 100% of proceeds help Annie’s Hope provide FREE grief support programs for local kids and families.

The need for children’s mental health programs is more urgent than ever. Diagnoses of anxiety and depression increased by almost 30% in recent years, making the outlook for grieving kids particularly dismal. Feelings of isolation are exacerbated by sadness, anger, and uncertainty due to grief. Thousands of kids in our region are currently struggling to cope with deaths.

We need businesses and individuals to support The Chocolate Affair with donations
for the silent auction, raffles, and wine pull. All contributions are tax-deductible, and more importantly, they have a positive impact on local families. The generosity of community partners allows more than 3,600 kids and adults each year to access services at Annie’s Hope and experience improved mental health outcomes.
