Our Story

 

A Reason for Chocolate was founded by Armitage Academy, an independent primary school located in the small southeastern Wisconsin town of Kenosha. Its purpose is to provide funds for children to directly effect change in the global community. A Reason for Chocolate enables students in kindergarten to 8th grade to engage in service activities and support organizations working toward making the world a better place. Students are empowered to become leaders for positive change in their school, community and the world.

Fifty percent of profits from A Reason for Chocolate go toward fulfilling student-inspired projects. These have included such activities as food and clothing drives for homeless shelters; supporting a “Meals on Wheels” program for elderly; teaching French to preschoolers in a Headstart program; providing books for a school in Nicaragua; collecting children’s books for a rural school library in Kenya; and supporting the preservation of Rainforests and Komodo dragons. In purchasing our product, you too are helping to contribute to positive global change.

“One small voice can make a huge and permanent difference, even if that voice is a child’s.”
(Excerpted from the Ryan’s Well Foundation, founded by Ryan Hreljac, who at age 6 began raising funds for developing countries)
