Live for Chocolate

On Friday, May 4, 2018, Nanticoke Health Services, the Western Sussex Chamber of Commerce and the City of Seaford will host the 5th annual Live for Chocolate – an evening of fun, laughter and support raising awareness for women’s health in Sussex County.

Women often care for so many others, putting themselves on the bottom of the “to do” list. Live for Chocolate is an event that allows us to come together in fellowship, laughter and love to support and encourage one another to take care of ourselves while having a whole lot of fun!

Every year, thousands of women are diagnosed with breast cancer. If diagnosed early, nearly all can be treated. For those with early diagnosis, there is a 98% survival rate, but early detection is key!

  • Cake Walk & Survivors Cake Walk: Cake Walk games are by City Hall and will take place throughout the night. Our special Survivors Cake Walk will take place at 7:15 PM by City Hall.

You can purchase ducks for $5 each or 3 for $10 (purchase tickets online). At 8:00 PM we will dip one lucky duck. The lucky duck winner will receive a gift certificate for a package donated by The Day Spa at the Marina.
