Vino Y Chocolate Online 2011 Ticket Purchase



On Friday April 1 from 7 to 9pm, BECA will be hosting its third annual Vino Y Chocolate gala, which raises funds for our expanding educational programs in Central America. This event is targeted towards New York professionals who have both philanthropic inclinations and a weakness for fantastic chocolate and fine wine. For the third year in a row, our wine and chocolate guided pairing is being generously sponsored by MarieBelle New York and Wine & Spirits Magazine. Additionally, we will be offering silent auction items and live music while you have the opportunity to "come meet your class" through interactive photo and video! Tickets can be purchased below.
