Every year, For the Love of Chocolate aims to surpass the surprises of the gala before it: February 27th’s spectacle did exactly that. With acrobats, ballerinas, world-renowned DJs and musicians, a bearded lady, gorgeous custom artwork, and, of course, a mouth-watering variety of food to feast upon, the over 1300 color-clad guests at the Union League Club of Chicago indulged in a vision of decadence.Thanks to our generous sponsors and guests, this Feast for the Senses raised over $180,000 for the scholarship foundation.

The 11th annual For the Love of Chocolate Gala was brought to life by the team at Imagine This, an event planning service that composes surprising experiences to fascinate guests and foster meaningful collaborations between companies and communities.

Save the date for February 25, 2017 when For the Love of Chocolate and Imagine This bring you their “Noir: An Evening of Mystery and Mayhem” to raise more scholarship dollars for all deserving students of Chicagoland culinary schools! If you can’t wait that long for another dazzling evening in Chicago, stay tuned for a Halloween event coming in October 2016!
