Chocolate Goat to benefit breast-cancer research

LAFAYETTE-The Chocolate Goat Gift Shoppe will host a special "Ribbons for Life" event during October to raise money for the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation. The store will donate 5% of their Vera Bradley sales of the "New Hope" pattern directly to the foundation. The New Hope pattern was designed especially to raise money for the foundation. New Hope features delicate bouquets of snowdrop flowers, tied with symbolic pink ribbons, and tossed on a sophisticated black background. Customers may purchase a limited edition New Hope clock (while supplies last). For every $28 clock purchased, $2 will go directly to the foundation. The Chocolate Goat invites members of the community to purchase pink breast-cancer awareness ribbons in honor or in memory of a loved one. The ribbons will be displayed at The Chocolate Goat throughout the month of October. Donors will be entered into a drawing for a Vera Bradley bag. For more details, call 973-300-5553.
