Here’s the scoop: eating Friendly’s ice cream helps Easter Seals!
by Beth
We’re 11 days into the new year already — time to throw those resolutions out the window! Here’s a chance to enjoy some ice cream without feeling guilty.
Starting today, and all the way up to Valentine’s Day, you can support Easter Seals Camp Friendly’s programs for kids with autism and other disabilities every time you visit a Friendly’s restaurant. Not only that, but you’ll be rewarded with a sheet of Valentine Cards! The Valentine Cards can be redeemed at Friendly’s for 5 free Kids Cones and $5 off any $25 purchase.
Funds raised in Friendly’s Cones for Kids program support Easter Seals Camp Friendly’s in 26 different locations. Camp Friendly’s provides an opportunity for kids with autism and other disabilities to be included in regular camp activities, such as boating, swimming, archery, campouts, hiking and sports. Through the Youth Leadership program, young adults with autism and other disabilities develop their leadership skills and begin to see new possibilities for themselves.
The Friendly Ice Cream Corporation has supported Easter Seals since 1981 with nearly $26 million through Cones for Kids. With the help of generous consumers, 26 Easter Seals affiliate organizations have benefited from this powerful campaign created by Friendly’s Restaurants up and down the East Coast.
So go ahead and enjoy some ice cream at a Friendly’s restaurant near you. Every time you and your family visit Friendly’s between now and February 13, you can help support essential disability camp programs in your community.
