The "Desperate Housewives" star spoke at a press conference today announcing a partnership between the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Godiva Chocolatier.
The actress helped introduce Godiva's Limited Edition True Love Heart Assortment and Valentine's Day Sweepstakes, which is projected to generate $200,000 for HIV prevention programs.
"I really love this new Limited Edition Valentine's Day box that honors Godiva's partnership with the Elton John AIDS Foundation," Longoria Parker said at the Los Angeles media event.
"It reminds us that love and compassion should always go hand-in-hand. I will definitely be gifting this to some of my loved ones this year and encouraging others to share a gift that gives back to those in need."
The boxes start at $25 and come with an access code, which you can enter for a chance to win.
So, what's the mouth-watering grand prize? The sweepstakes winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City in the fall, where he or she will receive red carpet treatment at EJAF's star-studded An Enduring Vision benefit.
Past attendees of the annual benefit have included everyone from Sharon Stone and Courtney Love to Daniel Craig and Bill Clinton.
At the event, the winner will present Sir Elton John himself with a $200,000 check on behalf of Godiva. The chocolate company will also make a $20,000 donation to a charity of the winner's choosing.
Candy with a cause. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
And here's another good cause we're happy to support.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion
dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue
of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several
weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your
closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my
holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to
solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce
outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this
form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look
below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan,
vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more
interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for
voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
