Your support in sharing this opportunity would help us reach local businesses that may wish to participate as sponsors, attendees, donors, or community partners.&lt;br /&gt;
Taste of Chocolate brings together local businesses, community leaders, and supporters to invest in safety, advocacy, and healing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault across Southern Illinois. As the only provider of specialized domestic violence shelter and sexual assault services across eight rural counties, Survivor Empowerment Center provides free, confidential, 24-hour support to survivors with few other options for help.&lt;br /&gt;
Businesses can become sponsors, attend with their team, purchase individual tickets for $90, or make a contribution in support of the event. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to sustain essential survivor services throughout the region.&lt;br /&gt;
Members can learn more, register, sponsor, or donate through the &lt;a href="https://events.readysetauction.com/survivorempowermentcenter/tasteofchocolate2026?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank"&gt;Taste of Chocolate 2026 event page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for considering this request and for helping bring Southern Illinois businesses together around safety, justice, and healing.&lt;br /&gt;
Best,&lt;br /&gt;
