Update: Chocolate Ball 2022

Cancelling the 36th Annual Chocolate Ball

It is with heavy hearts that we have made the decision to cancel the 2022 Chocolate Ball.  Given the particularly contagious nature of the Omicron variant and the expected spike in cases during the month of January, we do not feel that we could safely host an in-person event. While we are disappointed that we are unable to gather and celebrate on February 5th, as a health and human services agency, we believed it was our responsibility to prioritize safety.pace

The Chocolate Ball is our largest annual fundraiser, and we were counting on raising $100,000 to support our epilepsy programs. A shortfall in funds raised by Chocolate Ball will directly impact our ability to provide much needed services. We are hopeful you’ll still be able to help us meet, and even exceed, that goal.

How to help!

While the in-person event has been cancelled, we are offering other ways to stay involved, feed your chocolate cravings, and help us raise much needed funds.
