MARQUETTE -- A fundraiser helping those with disabilities was a rather sweet deal for chocolate lovers.

The annual event is organized by SAIL, a non-profit organization that helps the disabled with employment and housing. Around 10 restaurants offered up their sweetest deals from dark chocolates to fondue fountains.

All proceeds will go toward the organization's recreational program.

"Obviously our biggest population here today are women, so I think that women really like chocolate, so having their men come drop them off maybe and enjoy the chocolate. It's definitely a nice pull in and everybody loves chocolate, so that's part of why we thought of it," said Sarah Peura, program director.

Door prizes and a silent auction were also on hand.
