For the 15th year of ClearWater Conservancy’s For the Love of Art & Chocolate, has some new things in store. Gourmet chocolate and nature-inspired local art will still be the foundation of our signature winter gala, but a more intimate setting, a pre-event sponsor reception and other additions will add some spice to this event.

Join Conservancy members and supporters February 7 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Ramada Conference Center and Golf Hotel in State College to enjoy silent and live auctions, raffles, hors d'ourves, live music and of course, gourmet chocolate. Attendance is limited to 250. No walk-ins. R.S.V.P. by January 17. Reservations can be made online.

Just a week before Valentine’s Day, guests can treat their sweetheart to an indulgent evening of chocolate while proclaiming their love for our beautiful natural environment here in the heart of Pennsylvania. All proceeds from this event go to support ClearWater’s mission of conserving land and water resources in Central Pennsylvania.

The Conservancy will feature one of the long-standing programs at For the Love of Art & Chocolate this year.  ClearWater’s “Connections” program raises the needed funds each year to send 2,000+ local students to Millbrook Marsh Nature Center for hands-on outdoor environmental education.  To do this, we need at least $20,000 each and every year.  On average, it costs $10 per child to cover the admission fee and bus transportation to Millbrook Marsh.
