Cold Stone Creamery is Making Wishes Come True; join the "World’s Largest Ice Cream Social"

If you love ice cream and children, mark your calendars for Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Nationwide, Cold Stone Creamery are hosting a month-long fundraising celebration, cumulating with the eighth annual, “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social” on September 24, to help make wishes come true for children.

Cold Stone Creamery® is dishing up free ice cream in exchange for a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. 

Donate and receive a 3 oz. Jack’s Creation in a Like It™ Cup. Jack's Creation is Sweet Cream mixed with Brownies and Rainbow Sprinkles topped with Caramel. 

No substitutions are allowed. There is a limit of one per customer, while supplies last.

An estimated 85 percent of all donations in September will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.

Cold Stone Creamery has supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation since 2002, generating $3.2 million in donations. This year, 5-year-old Make-A-Wish® kid Jack teamed up with Cold Stone Creamery’s Tastemaster™ Ray Karam to create his own ice cream Creation to commemorate the alliance. Jack was named “Junior Tastemaster” as he created his special creation.

Cold Stone stores are also selling customizable paper wish stars for $1 each to adorn the walls and benefit your local Make-A-Wish chapter.

"Ice Cream and children is a simple combination, but throw in community support, and now we have a magical experience,” said Dan Beem, president of Cold Stone Creamery. “We are proud to have all of our Cold Stone stores nationwide coming together to serve ice cream to benefit this great cause year after year.”

To help celebrate the “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social,” Jack will be at Cold Stone

Creamery’s flagship store in Times Square New York. With Jack, World Wrestling

Entertainment® (WWE®) Superstars the Hart Dynasty™ will also be at the Times Square Cold Stone location to help serve guests during the event. As part of WWE’s Make-A-Wish Road to WrestleMania 26, WWE Superstars will make special appearances at a Detroit and Chicago Cold Stone location.

Ice cream lovers and supporters of the Make-A-Wish Foundation are encouraged to visit their local Cold Stone Creamery on Thursday, and throughout the month to participate in the fundraising festivities.
