The Harry K Foundation hosted its fourth annual Chocolate Crawl April 25 in Rehoboth Beach.

About 900 people kept warm on a chilly spring day by walking the streets, bouncing from one of the 38 participating businesses to another. There were cookies, baked goods, sweets and a few adult-themed chocolate drinks for participants to try.

The Harry K Foundation was founded by Harry Keswani in 2013 with a mission to end childhood hunger in Delaware. All the ticket proceeds went toward that mission.
