The Summit will sponsor the Buffalo Wine & Chocolate Festival on Saturday, March 1st, at the Statler Buffalo. The festival features numerous regional wine, spirits, cider, and chocolate vendors, as well as other local businesses. Two sessions of the festival will be offered: an early session from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm, and a later session from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

The Summit-sponsored Wine & Chocolate Festivals in Buffalo are highly rated and always anticipated. Each event also raises funds for a local beneficiary. This year proceeds from the Rochester Wine & Chocolate Festival will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western New York. Ronald McDonald House Charities give a family with a sick child what they need most – each other. The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities is to look after the health and well-being of children and families. They believe all families deserve access to quality care and they help to reduce barriers by providing a comfortable place to stay at no cost. Whether it’s lodging, transportation, meals, or companionship, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western New York provides a “home-away-from-home” to families while their children receive the medical care they need.

Festival attendees will be invited to make a cash or mobile donation and spin the wheel for prizes at The Summit’s booth. All donations collected will go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western New York. Additionally, $1 from the sale of each bottle of wine at the festival will go to that organization.
