The SCV Education Foundation announced its 1st Annual Sweet Side of Education Chocolate Walk in May for public school literary programs.

This event hopes to bring together chocolate lovers and enthusiasts on Main Street in Santa Clarita and nearby for the chance to sample a variety of chocolates and chocolate-inspired treats at participating businesses.

Proceeds from the event are set to benefit the SCV Education Foundations to support the literacy programs to the five local public school districts.

As part of the event, SCV Education Foundation is looking for a Presenting Sponsor, Chocolicious Sponsors and Chocolatier Sponsors. Businesses not in the Old Town Newhall area wishing to participate can be partnered with a business in the Old Town Newhall area.

“I am thrilled for Eat Real Cafe to be part of the SCV Education Foundation’s Sweet Side of Education Chocolate Walk. We have just opened our third location on Main Street, and we’re excited for the community to visit us here. We will be providing delicious fresh baked chocolate chip scones at the event.” stated Tatiana Choa, Eat Real Café owner.

Current Chocolatier Sponsors include Jill’s Cake Creations (sharing their treats from the KHTS Radio location), Rocket Fizz, Eat Real Cafe, Planet Soccer, Heavenly Honey by Faith, and Maison on Main. SCV Signal, Santa Clarita Magazine, KHTS Radio and SCVTV are participating media sponsors.

“What a great way to support the literacy programs the foundation provides to all five local public districts while supporting local small businesses too,” said Jackie Hartmann, executive director of the SCV Education Foundation.

The event is set for Saturday, May 13th in Old Town Newhall from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 each and sales will be limited to 400.
