Confections in Chocolate, established in 1989, is the Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York's annual gala event. The event is held each year in March at Wolferts Roost Country Club. The theme changes annually, and the highlight of the evening is always the delicious array of chocolate signature desserts donated by local pastry chefs. The evening includes a cocktail and hors d'oeuvre reception, dinner and dessert.

Live and silent auctions and a raffle are favorites of past attendees. The event welcomes 250-300 people annually.

Many local businesses sponsor the event and reserve tables for their employees and clients. Hundreds of local businesses donate gift certificates and merchandise for the auctions and raffle. View our current supporters or find out how to join the effort as a sponsor.

Music and dancing complete the evening.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City for the 19th Annual Confections in Chocolate!
