Exclusive “Champion for a Child” Chocolate Bars Bring the Community Together for Fuller Center
Palm Beach, Fla. — October 25, 2025 — South County Road was buzzing with purpose on Saturday October 25th as a dozenPalm Beach boutiques joined forces to host a spirited shopping block party benefitting Fuller Center, the longtime nonprofit serving local children and families.
Families, teens, and shoppers strolled the iconic stretch while sampling sweetness with meaning through the organization’s exclusive “Champion for a Child” Bars (called Champion Bars)— handcrafted by Peterbrooke Chocolatier and offered with a suggested $20 donation. In return, each participating shop provided shoppers with a special same-day discount as a thank-you for giving back.
Participating retailers included Abby’s on the Island, Aristokids, Asha, Classic Bookshop, C. Orrico, Julia Amory, Lori Jayne, Mark Russell, The Nix Palm Beach, P.B. Boys Club, Pepa London, Peterbrooke Chocolatier, and Well Made Home — all proudly partnering with Fuller Center for its first-ever Palm Beach Island event in the organization’s nearly 55-year history.
Adding a playful twist, several “Champion for a Child” Bars contained Winning Tickets, worth $500 and free family admission to Fuller Center’s festive new holiday celebration, A Perfect Palm Beach Holiday, debuting December 7th at The Colony Hotel. This past weekend, one lucky Palm Beach Island family with five children found a winning ticket at Aristokids, securing their exclusive holiday experience and $500. There are still two additional winning tickets waiting to be discovered, giving the community even more reason to savor the fun while supporting families in need.
“Seeing so many families and community members come together to support our mission was heartwarming,” said Eric Roby, CEO of Fuller Center. “Our Champion for a Child campaign embodies what Fuller stands for — giving every child the chance to reach their full potential while uniting our community in joyful, meaningful ways. Support for our programs is more critical than ever as the need grows and funding declines.”
There’s still time to indulge for a cause! “Champion for a Child” Bars remain available for purchase at participating Palm Beach retailers and at The Colony Hotel through December 7th. Proceeds benefit Fuller Center’s award-winning and affordable childcare, early education, private elementary school, out-of-school time, teen leadership and family empowerment programs, which serve hard-working families and children countywide.
Tickets and sponsorships for A Perfect Palm Beach Holiday are available at this Fuller Center website link.
