Hello friends and family!
TL;DR: For your donation of $35 or more, I'd love to send you three hand-crafted single origin chocolate bars! (If you choose to donate anonymously, please shoot me a message if you'd still like to get chocolate! PledgeReg doesn't show me who anonymous donors are.)
Like most of us, I have plans from 2020 that got bumped into 2021 - one of them is competing in the 100 kilometer race at the Vermont 100 this summer. I'm all in for making 2021 a better year, and part of that is giving more than just sixty-odd miles in July - I'd like to remember 2021 for helping make a contribution to the cause that makes this race special, and along with that share a new craft with you.
The Vermont 100 is one of the largest annual fundraisers for Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports - over the years, hundreds of thousands have been raised to support Vermont Adaptive's programs. They help provide unique, specialized equipment and facilitate support for people who need a little extra assistance to participate in the New England traditions we all know and love: skiing, snowboarding, kayaking & sailing, rock climbing, and just about any other activity you can name. Alongside sports, they run year round programming for people of all ages with cognitive, developmental, physical and emotional disabilities.
I'd greatly appreciate you joining me in support Vermont Adaptive this year, but I want you to get something out of it too! In the past few months, I've begun crafting chocolate from bean to bar, starting with raw cacao seed and roasting, husking, grinding & tempering into fully formed bars.
For your donation of $35 or more, I'd love to send you a set of three single origin chocolate bars - just two simple ingredients, cacao & sugar! Each bar is hand crafted - I promise to deliver as soon as I can, whether via local delivery in the Boston area or shipped. Please make sure to send along your delivery address & I'll get right back to you! If you donate anonymously, it doesn't show me who you are, so make sure to shoot me a message!
You can email me at [email protected] with your address for delivery.
