Ben & Jerry's 'Free Cone Day' With Local Scoopers for Charity April 3
Ben & Jerry’s, the company that broke the mold for businesses demonstrating you could make a profit while giving back to the community, will commemorate its 34th Annual “Free Cone Day†at Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops at the District at Green Valley Ranch and inside Sunset Station Hotel & Casino.
The Scoop Shops enlist help from some of the city’s hottest entertainers who will scoop to benefit Lied Discovery Children’s Museum and St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. All small cones are FREE with no purchase necessary but patrons are encouraged to make a donation to the store’s respective charity partners.
Gracious celebrity guests will roll up their sleeves, dig in and work to help raise money by scooping ice cream throughout the day on Tuesday, April 3 between Noon and 8 p.m.
