The fourth annual Sweet Escapes fundraiser returns May 2.

In partnership with Central Piedmont Community College's (CPCC's) Baking & Pastry Arts Club, the night celebrates all things chocolate.

Guests can expect to indulge guilt free as all proceeds support Community Link's efforts to help individuals and families obtain and sustain housing.

World Cup Chocolatier Chef Geoff Blount, who helped launch Sweet Escapes, is this event's Willy Wonka--the mad chocolate scientist who last year created a 30 foot chocolate river for the event.

"Entering our fourth year, I believe we've created the premier community-wide event that celebrates chocolate," says Blount. "People love chocolate . . . it smells great, tastes great, and makes people feel good."
