On Sunday, March 8 2009 The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation is hosting their Fourth Annual Chocolate for Charity Fundraiser in NYC.

$25 not only goes to support a great cause, but it also gets you access to all night dancing, a live auction with David Wolfe, live music by Ray Ippolito and more chocolate than you’ll know what to do with.

I’ll be there, Vanessa Barg will be there, Jeff Skeirik will be there, Charles Balcer will be there, and many more members of our We Like It Raw NYC crew will be representing as well.

Big ups to Cem Akin and the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation team for all the great work they’ev done to plant thousands and thousands of fruit tress all around the globe.

Hope to see you Sunday!
