The World's Largest Ice Cream Social!

Cold Stone Creamery is hosting their fourth annual World's Largest Ice Cream Social and it's today! From 5-8 pm, help yourself to a FREE ice cream cone from Cold Stone. Lucky for us, there are lots of locations in Los Angeles! In exchange for the free cone, you will be asked to make a donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and 100% of the proceeds nationwide will go back to them.
The free scoops will be a creation designed by one of their "wish" kids, 10-year-old Cole. "Cole's Creation" features yellow cake, chocolate chips, and rainbow sprinkles.
Enjoy this yummy and easy way to feel like you've done something good today. You deserve it, with a cherry on top.
