Help Us Support ToLife!
Like many of you, we at Confluence Chocolate have loved ones who have fought breast cancer. That’s why we created the Survivor bar, featuring pomegranate and cranberry, to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer education and support. We are donating a portion of the proceeds from the sales of this bar to local non-profit organizations that provide these services. So as you indulge, please accept our heartfelt thanks for helping us in our mission to give back for our loved ones and yours.
Survivor is a special edition bar for October. A portion of the proceeds from this bar are being donated to local non-profit organizations providing support, education, and resources to those with breast cancer. More details can be found on our website.
This bar starts with a 75% dark chocolate made with cocoa beans that are lightly roasted to bring out their natural flavors. Immediately after molding the bar, we hand-sprinkle on freeze-dried cranberry dust and pomegranate arils. This pairing results in multiple layers of sweet, tart, and fruitiness, taking your taste buds on a culinary adventure.
About ToLife.org
To Life! serves all those affected by a breast cancer diagnosis in the greater Capital Region, including Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Columbia, Greene, Montgomery, Fulton, Warren, and Washington counties.
To Life! was founded in October 1998 as a not-for-profit organization after its founder, Mara Ginsberg, was diagnosed with breast cancer. As she progressed through consultations about treatment and therapy alternatives, she realized that services to breast cancer patients were limited, fractured, and difficult to locate. As she met other women in the same boat, she learned that many, like she, were occasionally overwhelmed by the gravity of their diagnoses, unsure of what questions to ask the doctors, sometimes embarrassed to ask certain questions, put off by the busy-ness and sterility of medical offices, uncomfortable shopping for prostheses and wigs in medical supply houses, and aching for a competent and sympathetic source of information, guidance, and non-medical services.
Mara created To Life! to serve as a welcoming setting for those to obtain information necessary to make informed medical decisions, learn how to explain things to their families, and thereby enlist their support and assistance and go for support and ancillary services such as wigs, head coverings and post-surgical garments and fittings. And, because early detection is half the battle against breast cancer, To Life! aggressively reaches out to the community with breast self-examination training.
