Charitable
Would you like to book a Chicago Chocolate Tour to help raise funds for your organization? Details are in number 4, below!
The Chicago Chocolate Tours mission of Uplift Through Chocolate means that we want to uplift:
- our chocolate-loving customers
- our participating stores and chocolatiers
- our team of Choc Stars
- our charitable partners and communities.
Our Founder and Team are active in serving through civic and charitable organizations, and here are the main ways we provide Uplift Through Chocolate to our charitable partners and communities:
1. Charity of Choice
Our Charity of Choice is CARE, one of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world. CARE helps women in impoverished countries exit poverty through entrepreneurship, and provides a host of community programs and social justice initiatives in the 60+ countries where it operates, including in cocoa-growing countries such as Ecuador and Ghana. We make financial contributions to CARE, and also mention their work on every tour that we give, thereby giving CARE greater exposure. So, chocolate fights world poverty!
2. Local Charity Partner
Our Local Charity Partner is Hull House, which has been helping Chicago's neediest families for over 100 years, and which was founded by Jane Addams, the first US woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Chicago Chocolate Tours has sponsored the annual Hull House "Tea With Jane" event for the past two years.
3. Gift Certificate Donations
In addition, we sometimes donate gift certificates to charitable and civic organizations, for their silent auctions or raffle prizes. Contact us at info@chicagochocolatetours.com with your information or request. Email only, please (save a tree!).
4. Fundraising Tours
We also hold fundraising tours for non-profit organizations, whereby a portion of tour proceeds goes to your organization. For example, we can arrange a private Chicago Chocolate Tour for supporters of your organization, and we'll donate $10 of the $50 per person private tour ticket fee back to you. Contact us at info@chicagochocolatetours.com with your information or request.
There you have it - chocolate to the rescue!
