After a year of absence, the annual free Cold Stone Creamery World's Largest Ice Cream Social is Back!

Mark your calendars!
Thursday, September 25
5-8pm

Well, you are probably aware that Cold Stone Creamery is NOT doing very well. Perhaps this is to get its name back out or perhaps it is simply for a good cause!

A nationwide event to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, customers will receive a free 3 oz. serving of either Wish Child Emily or Wish Child Jack's creation and can donate to Make-A-Wish. These creations were made using two of Cold Stone Creamery's new ice cream flavors, Nutter Butter and marshmallow. Emily combined Nutter Butter ice cream with yellow cake, Kit Kat Candy, and white chocolate chips. Jack mixed marshmallow ice cream Oreo cookies, chocolate chips and fudge.

So, it's not really free, right? They want a donation?

I hadn't heard that Cold Stone wasn't doing well...

They do something similar to this every year to help benefit the Make A Wish Foundation. The donation is not required in order to get the ice cream, but is appreciated. It's similar to the thing that Baskin-Robbins does every year.

At mine, you did have to "donate" in order to get the ice cream; there was an employee stationed at the door:

1) Donate $$ ("Any amount will do.") in exchange for a ticket (like a raffle ticket),
2) Place MAW ice cream order, which was
3) Exchanged for your ticket.

While I don't mind donating in theory, I don't like it when I am, for all intents and purposes, *paying* for something that's been advertised as F-R-E-E.
