Hearts for Haiti NJ Launch

 
By Evelyn Cucchiara

Tonight was a very busy night at The Chocolate Rose Shoppe in Madison NJ.  From 7:00pm to 9:45pm we held the kickoff event (over 100 people attended) to help raise funds for Hearts for Haiti.  During this evening, over $900 was donated to the American Red Cross for Haiti relief.  This was done through the sales of packs of cards (20 cards - an example depicted above) for $15.  During the event, chocolate, wine, and cheese tasting was enjoyed by all.  The launch was coordinated by Madison resident Lauren Cantor and Tivoli Creative owner Melanie Tomaszewski.

Hearts for Haiti cards are available for purchase at our Chocolate Shoppe and at other shops around town.

"It all started as a discussion between a mother and her child. Elle Cantor, a third grader at Torey J. Sabatini Elementary School in Madison, New Jersey, was watching “Good Morning America” with her mom, Lauren Cantor, as part of a daily morning routine before school."  To read more about it, click here:
