FEBRUARY 8, 2020
Statehouse Convention Center
6:00-11:30 p.m.

Experience thousands of decadent chocolate creations and gourmet treats prepared exclusively for this pre-Valentine's Day gala. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a sinfully delicious signature chocolate martini and mouthwatering desserts! The evening will include an elegant seated dinner, fabulous silent and live auctions, and concluded with dancing the night away.

We expect over 700 guests to attend the upcoming event on Saturday, February 8, 2020, so get your tickets early! It's the largest source of funds for Ronald McDonald House. Without it, the House would not be able to serve families in need. ​ Thanks to attendees, sponsors, auction donors, chocolate donors and volunteers, the gala raised $589,760 last year to help fund Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas.
