Chocolate lovers, mark your calendars for Chocolate Fest 2014, presented by Sandy Sansing Dealerships and Gulf Coast Kid’s House. Chocolate Fest is a dessert extravaganza held at Cordova Mall, on Saturday, April 26 from noon to 3 p.m.
Tickets cost $10 in advance and will soon be available at Gulf Coast Kid’s House. If available, tickets can also be purchased for $15 at the event, which takes place throughout the corridors of Cordova Mall. There, attendees will sample mouth-watering chocolate treats from dozens of popular local restaurants. A special area for children, the “Chocolate Factory,†will feature activities, games, and prizes.
More than just a delicious dessert, this chocolate is for a cause. Restaurants, sponsors and attendees of the 11th Annual Chocolate Fest help raise funds that ensure child victims of abuse and neglect receive timely, effective and streamlined treatment. Gulf Coast Kid’s House facilitates a collaborative response to abuse cases, ensuring that medical exams, recorded interviews, prosecution and mental health counseling occur in one child-friendly facility. This “one-stop†concept greatly reduces the trauma children experience and leads to better case outcomes. In 2013, GCKH provided services to nearly 2,100 child victims of abuse in Escambia County.
It is not too late to become a sponsor or participate as a contributing restaurant. Download your sponsor form at www.pensacolachocolatefest.com or call 595-5800 for more information on becoming a part of this popular annual event!
