Cold Stone Creamery locations to offer free ice cream to help make wishes come true
During September, Cold Stone Creamery® locations will host a month-long fundraising celebration to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois.
These stores will work together raising funds to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions throughout Illinois. Cold Stone Creamery has partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation since 2002, generating $3.2 million in donations. Eleven-year-old wish kid Kate teamed up with Cold Stone Creamery’s Tastemaster™ Ray Karam to create her own ice cream Creation to celebrate the alliance this year. Kate was named “Junior Tastemaster” as she created her special Creation with caramel-apple ice cream mixed with extra apples, graham crackers and chocolate flakes.
Throughout the month, every Cold Stone store will sell paper Wish Stars for $1 each. The celebration will reach its peak with the ninth “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social.” On September 30, 2010, Cold Stone locations will give away a 3-ounce portion of “Kate’s Creation” from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. in exchange for a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
