Death By Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer

July 13, 2024 |

A Chocolate and Champagne Tasting with live music, a live competition for the BEST chocolate creation, raffles and more…

Be a part of the fight against breast cancer while enjoying a feast for the senses. Join Krewe de Pink for their fifth annual Death by Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer fundraiser to honor this year’s Sweet Survivors.

Krewe de Pink has created a chocolate and champagne tasting event like no other. Tasty chocolate bites —both sweet and savory— will be crafted with chocolate donated by Callebaut Chocolate, home of the finest Belgian chocolate.

At this 21 and older event, guests will enjoy the scrumptious chocolate creations* with bubbly* which has been graciously provided by Josh Wine Cellars. Live music will be performed by a local Jazz Combo. There will be raffles to include a stunning Diamond Necklace donated by Diamonds Direct as well as a Champagne basket. A fabulous photo station will be available for guests to capture the moment. As a thank you, guests will receive a chocolate treat as a takeaway compliments of Callebaut Chocolate.

The event is a live competition. Each dish will be judged by guests and local chefs on their chocolate-inspired dishes with 1st and 2nd Place in both the People’s Choice and Judges Choice Awards. Prizes will be awarded for each category.

VIP ticket holders will enjoy exclusive access to the event with a 5:30 pm entry to mingle with the local celebrity chefs and the 2024 Sweet Survivors and receive special takeaways. General admission entry is at 6:30 pm. Tickets are limited and go on sale May 2024. (Cannot make the event but want to support breast cancer research? Consider a donation in honor of a loved one.)

The event will be held at Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home. The exquisite features of this New Orleans landmark including the unique architecture, fine furnishings, spectacular chandeliers & fireplace mantels, and beautiful gardens provide an elegant setting for this fun, exciting and decadent event.

Those who attend are in for a unique and memorable experience full of wonderful sights, scents, sounds and tastes all while supporting breast cancer research at the Tulane Cancer Center.
