Chocolate Affair 2018


Saturday, February 3 had all the right ingredients for one sweet night at Baltimore Marriott Waterfront:

  • 800+ glamourous guests
  • Dozens of decadent dishes from Baltimore’s top chefs
  • $600,000+ raised for health care and housing for our neighbors without homes

With presenting sponsor CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, our Health Care for the Homeless community came together to make home a reality for hundreds of neighbors like Jimmy.

As Jimmy explained in the evening’s featured video, “Living in an apartment is like a godsend. I’m beginning to feel more pride in having a place. I’m proud that I’m still here. That I got up. But it’s just a start.”

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers, chefs, sponsors, staff and YOU for making Chocolate Affair 2018 an unparalleled evening of fundraising—and fun.
