(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has launched a new charity campaign for Easter.

They are raffling off a three foot tall chocolate Easter Bunny.

All the proceeds will benefit St. Joseph's chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

This event is only part of the year round charitable efforts by the St. Joseph store.

"We started doing a chocolate for charity campaign last summer with fudge for troops, at that time when we sold a pound of fudge, we donated a pound to the troops. We ran a similar campaign over Christmas when we sold raffle tickets for our three foot tall chocolate Santa. Now we thought we would carry on a tradition and help out a local organization in any way that we can," said Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory owner, Leslie Oberg.

Raffle tickets for the chocolate Easter Bunny can be purchased at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and Aspen Leaf Frozen Yogurt through March 28.
