SUMMARY:NYC Chocolate BOAT Party!
DESCRIPTION:Gnosis Chocolate is hosting a fundraiser gala with 100% of
  profits from the event to be donated to the organic agricultural effo
 rts of Big Tree Farms and The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. The even
 t will take place aboard The Lucille on a boat temporarily coined “T
 he Chocolate Boat,” on Friday, September 10th.\n\nThe Chocolate Boat
  departs at 8pm and will cruise down the East River, following the eve
 ning’s last rays of sunlight to the west around the tip of Manhattan
  to the Statue of Liberty before returning to dock at 11pm. Grand amou
 nts of raw chocolate, gourmet health food, and beverages will provide 
 sustenance to the evening’s philanthropists as they dance to the mes
 merizing rhythms of an East African Percussion Band and Didgeridoo. On
  the lower deck, various local eco companies will provide organic skin
 care treatments, massages, and other healthful and lavish products and
  services. On the upper deck’s dance floor, guests will dance the ni
 ght away with New York wrapped around them – the city skyline coming
  to life as lights illuminate. Through this event, Gnosis hopes to rai
 se awareness of a shift in the market place towards organic, high inte
 grity, conscious companies and the joy that is associated with being a
  player in that shift.\n\nSpace is Limited! Pre-sale of tickets is ava
 ilable online through 12am on September 10th at $45. If space permits,
  tickets will be sold on the dock for $65. Tickets include meal, drink
 , and unlimited raw chocolate. The Chocolate Boat boards from 7-8pm\n\
