FREE Ice Cream
During the past seven years, Cold Stone Creamery has partnered with The Make-A-Wish Foundation raising nearly $3 million.
On September 25th from 5pm to 8pm, all Cold Stone Creamery stores will participate in the 7th Annual World's Largest Ice Cream Social to collect customer donations.
Who are our wish children?
Jack, a 9-year-old boy with Cystic Fibrosis who’s wish was to meet his favorite musical talent, Jesse McCartny. And Emily, a 10 year-old with Batten Disease (a progressive neurological disease that caused her to go blind) who’s wish was to swim with dolphins. If you would like to read about more wishes come true, you can visit this website: wishes.org/stories.
Any customer joining in the stores festivities will be treated to a free make a wish creation (known as "Emily's Creation" and "Jack's Creation"), while being encouraged to make a donation to this very worthy cause. We will be accepting all cash and check donations. Just ask a Cold Stone Creamery employee who to make checks out to.
A little history behind the Make-A-Wish Foundation:
Make-A-Wish was founded in 1980 as an organization to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions. By granting these children their life-long wishes, MAW has given hope, strength, and joy to the children and their families. Beginning with one boys wish to become a police officer, the foundation has flourished into a worldwide phenomena, reaching 166,530 children and granting one wish in the US every 40 minutes. That is pretty amazing if you ask me!
As one of the worlds largest and best-known charities, MAW continues to grow and grant wishes by maintaining the grassroots fulfillment of it's mission. Since the average cost of granting a child's wish is more than $6,800, the foundation relies heavily upon fundraising efforts and donations from generous supporters. MAW is a complied network of more than 25,000 volunteers serving as wish granters, fundraisers, and special event assistants.
Cold Stone Creamery encourages our great city of Chicago to help make young boys and girls dreams and wishes come true.
