The 9th Annual Chocolate Fling Benefit for Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Tennessee was a great success.
Thank you to those who came out to help us help the 1 in 100 who have epilepsy, and their community. Chocolate was abundant, the auction was fun, and our new live auction had some great items including Disneyworld passes and a 43-inch television.
Next year, you want to make sure to come. Spring of 2017 will be the Decade of Decadence celebration at the 10th Chocolate Fling Benefit! Stay tuned on social media, and sign up for the e-mail list. Stay connected and in the loop as the foundation focuses on its mission of working to ensure that people with seizure disorders are able to participate in all life experiences and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy.
