Benefit of Chocolate 2020
Benefit of Chocolate 2020
Our annual Benefit of Chocolate Gala was scheduled for March 26, 2020 at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with George and Kathy Vincent as Event Co-Chairs. Unfortunately, we were not able to safely hold the event given COVID-19 restrictions and our concern for the safety of our attendees and event staff. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, donors, and ticket holders, this year’s Benefit of Chocolate raised over $40,000 in donations to support our ongoing programs for stroke and brain trauma survivors. We hope to resume our annual Benefit of Chocolate Gala in 2021.
Thank you to our sponsors: The Vincent Family, Chris Reynolds, Joanne Addas, Koches Family Foundation, Mary Agee, AMR Commercial, LLC, The Bolton Family, Philip & Marianne Coyle, Joan Curtis, EagleBank, Gary & Vicki Kirkbride, Bill & and Jennifer Manders, Joyce McCarty, Raymond & Julie McGraw, The Monitor Group, LLC, Pebble Beach Associates, LLC, Elizabeth Scott, Janet Weller
