Sunset chocolatier joins Ridge resident to light the borough purple for World Prematurity Day
Lighting Brooklyn purple!
Jacques Torres opened up his chocolate factory, located in Sunset Park’s Brooklyn Army Terminal, on Thursday, November 17 to host the first-ever “LIGHTBKLYNPURPLE fundraiser” alongside Brooklyn Committee co-chair of the March of Dimes in Kings County and Bay Ridge resident John Quaglione.
The event was held in honor of World Prematurity Day and saw a large group of attendees treated to food, drinks, a tour of Torres’ famous factory, and of course, plenty of chocolate — all in the name of spreading awareness about premature births.
