Sweeter Charity takes over Eve at the BOB!

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOTV) - Friday night, Febraury 5th, I decided to go straight from the Michigan International Auto Show and give support to another great charity! Stacy Thompson (from WOTV4) and I ventured down the street from the DeVos Place to the BOB where tons of locals gathered for charity and sweets!  The Leading for Our Kids-Sweeter Charity event took over Eve nightclub at the top of the BOB, benefiting the Helen DeVos Childrens hospital. The event featured tons of yummy deserts including some of my personal favorites! Pretty much everything chocolate-I had to taste!

Some of the sweets menu items inclued the delicious Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Cups with Chocolate Mousse, Mini Carrot Cake Martini, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Strawberry Shortcake Shooters, Key Lime Mousse Cups with Graham Cracker Crust, and a Signature Chocolate Martinis and Champagne Table!  I enjoyed friendly conversation with tons of charitable locals, a silent auction, and live entertainment from the Fred Knapp trio.

Last year, they raised over $12,000! Which is wonderful since this amount came from the future donors of Grand Rapids!  The event is directed at the young professionals of the Grand Rapids community to instill a spirit of giving at a young age.

One local who attended the charity stated; “As we all know it will take thousands of donors to fill the shoes of Grand Rapids’ current tremendous philanthropists.”

Hats off to Eve and The Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital for a wonderfully “sweet” charity event!
