25th Annual Chocolates Galore and More!
Friday, February 17th, 2012, 7 pm to 11 pm
The National Conference Center, Lansdowne, VA
Help us celebrate the silver anniversary of this gala event by enjoying food and dessert competitions among the area’s finest restaurants and chefs; silent and live auctions of exciting items donated by local businesses; great music; all-night dancing; free-flowing champagne; and of course, the finest selection of chocolate to be found!
Bring your friends and loved ones, and make it a night on the town! You'll also have the opportunity to meet our Special Guest, the Voice of Redskins Radio and the Host of Redskins Nation, Larry Michael!
We always have a sell-out crowd for this “red carpet” occasion, so get your tickets early! To purchase Reserved Seats & General Admission Tickets, click here today.
[General Admission is $60 and Reserved Seats are $75.]
To see pictures from last year’s event, please go to our Facebook page. “Chocolates” is a wonderful event, and if you missed last year's extravaganza, please make a special effort to be there for our 25th anniversary. You will be glad you came, and so will we!
Proceeds from this event are a vital source of funds for the YMCA Loudoun County’s Building Bridges campaign, and enable us to serve the needs of local families and children throughout Loudoun County. Sponsorship and donation opportunities are also available. For more information about the benefits of sponsoring this year's Chocolates Galore & More, please click here.
