No. Although the Boys & Girls Club of the North Valley adopted the fest for its first four years, they now believe that the fest and its opportunity has outgrown their ability to adequately staff and coordinate the event. Thus, with their blessing and cooperation, a dedicated group of community volunteers has established Paradise Chocolate Fest, Inc. to continue the tradition of the Chocolate Fest in Paradise.
Although it is still too early to determine who will benefit from the fest, the Board is committed to an inclusive process to determine with local, youth-serving organizations will benefit from money raised by the fest.
