Athletes and management staff from The Baltimore Nighthawks spent a recent evening volunteering their time at The 18th Annual Chocolate Affair. The event is the largest annual charity event in Baltimore. Proceeds benefit Health Care for the Homeless (HCH), a local non profit organization that works to reduce poverty, hunger, and homelessness throughout the state.
Having outgrown an array of venues throughout Baltimore, The 18th Annual Chocolate Affair took place in the South Club-Level Lounge of Ravens' Stadium. Joining the Nighthawks in support of this fantastic event were Baltimore Ravens Tight End Daniel Wilcox and Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon.
The Nighthawks would like to encourage everyone to reach out to organizations like HCH and support them by volunteering time and when possible donating generously.
About The Chocolate Affair
Celebrating its 18th birthday, The Chocolate Affair began as the brainchild of local community leaders concerned with poverty, hunger, and homelessness in Baltimore.
Founding members included the former President and CEO of Health Care for the Homeless, Jackie Gaines, and two currently serving members of The Chocolate Affair Event Planning Committee, Debra Attman and Pam Malester. The event initially benefited Action for the Homeless, which later merged to form the Center for Poverty Solutions. When the Center closed in 2005, event organizers partnered with Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) to keep the event alive and further HCH’s important work to reduce poverty, hunger, and homelessness throughout the state.
