Fourteenth Annual Ronald McDonald House Gala Helps Keep Families Close

LITTLE ROCK, AR (February 11, 2017) – The fourteenth annual Chocolate Fantasy Ball, benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Arkansas (RMHCA), is set for 6:00 p.m. this Saturday, February 11 at the Statehouse Convention Center.

The annual black tie event is Little Rock’s premier Valentine’s gala and is the largest fundraiser for RMHCA, with last year’s event resulting in $350,000 in contributions. This year’s special Chocolate Fantasy Ball honoree is RMHCA board member and volunteer Susie Morgan and the event chair is Carla Gunderman. The elegant evening will be emceed by KTHV’s Craig O'Neill and live music will be performed by White Chocolate.

This year’s celebration will be sweeter than ever with a chocolate-themed cocktail reception featuring our famous chocolate martinis and thousands of pieces of decadent chocolate from over 40 chocolate makers. There will also be a gourmet dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions, and a limited participation raffle with chances to win The Closet (for ladies) or The Cellar (for gentlemen), worth thousands of dollars each.

The fabulous live auction will include one of a kind items, such as a large, custom-built backyard playhouse created by Nabholz Construction, a custom-made gold and chocolate pearl necklace and earring set valued at $13,000 from Jones & Son, and a fantastic Super Bowl travel package for next year’s game provided by Clinton McDonald with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There will also be hunting trips, vacation getaways and more.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Arkansas enhances the lives of children and their families by creating and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. The Chocolate Fantasy Ball raises money to support the two core programs of RMHCA. The Ronald McDonald House® is a 32-bedroom home away from home that provides housing and services to over 900 families a year who have children receiving treatment at area hospitals. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® is a 40 foot, state-of-the-art mobile unit that provides free, full-service dental care and education to children who would not otherwise have access to dental care.
