Newtown, PA – On the first Saturday in May, A Woman’s Place (AWP) will mark two decades of its annual gala, the Chocolate Lovers’ Fantasy.
Co-chair Samantha Kraus notes that, “This event helps bring the issue of domestic violence to the forefront and provides much-needed funding for AWP to provide free services to victims of domestic violence as well as to the greater community. I can't thank our sponsors and volunteers enough for all that they have done to support this event and the important work of AWP.”
In addition to the cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dinner that one would normally expect to find at a fundraising extravaganza, AWP’s sweet celebration features 55 feet of chocolate, a special anniversary chocolate cake, and even a chocolate fountain.
The event takes place from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 2 at majestic Tyler Hall on the campus of Bucks County Community College in Newtown. Tickets are $125 and may be purchased online at www.awomansplace.org or by calling 215.343.9241 x120.
