Cold Stone Creamery hosts the fifth annual world's largets ice cream social
Free ice cream will be served up on Sept. 28 in Colorado and Stores Nationwide
Cold Stone Creamery® will host the "World's Largest Ice Cream Social," a fundraising event to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America and local chapters across the country.
On Sept. 28, Cold Stone Creamery stores in Colorado and throughout the United States, Guam and Puerto Rico, invite ice cream lovers to experience the joy of ice cream at a nostalgic event that promises wholesome family entertainment, fun activities and lots of ice cream!
Guests will be treated to a free 3-oz. serving of the Make-A-Wish® ice cream Creation developed by a young boy named Cole, age 10, a wish child from Aurora, Colorado. Cole's Creation consists of chocolate ice cream with yellow cake, chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles. Between 5 - 8 p.m., customers joining in the festivities at any store will receive to a free serving (3oz) of Cole's Creation, while being encouraged to make a donation to this worthy cause.
Donations that night and all month long will benefit the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Cole was so moved by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 that he wished to travel to New York City to meet the firefighters he had seen on television and admired greatly. Cole's wish came true in March of 2004 when he visited New York City, where he was even sworn in as an honorary New York City firefighter by Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta.
Ice cream lovers are encouraged to visit their local Cold Stone Creamery on Thurs., Sept. 28, from 5 to 8 p.m., to participate in the World's Largest Ice Cream Social. Visit www.coldstonecreamery.com to find a store in your area.
