NAMI Fort Wayne is incredibly grateful for the financial support of the Kiwanis Club John Chapman Foundation. We were honored to be welcomed today as one of their guest speakers and to share how their generosity strengthens mental health support across Northeast Indiana. We thank them for their continued financial support!
Guided by the Kiwanis International motto—“Improving the world, one child and one community at a time”—the John Chapman Foundation directs all funds raised to support underserved children’s charities and programs across its 11-county service area, with a strong focus on Allen County and Fort Wayne. Their work supports education, domestic violence shelters, hunger relief, and vital mental health resources for youth—serving all in need without regard to race, religion, or politics.
Please support their work by attending their annual ChocolateFest 2026
ChocolateFest is a sweet night out you won’t want to miss! Enjoy a buffet-style dinner, an all-you-can-eat ice cream bar, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and three chocolate fountains (milk, dark, and white). The evening also features live music and dancing, an electronic silent auction, door prizes, and fun ways to give back—all in a festive Valentine’s-style atmosphere.
Doors open at 5:30 PM, with dinner served at 6:30 PM. Dress is business casual or better, and tickets must be purchased in advance. Can’t attend? Donations and silent auction bidding are still available online.
Come indulge, connect, and help make a difference!
