Free Cone Day to Support Canton's Bravest 
Canton will be celebrating Free Cone Day to thank their customers for their patronage, and to raise money and awareness in support of the Town of Canton Volunteer Fire & EMS Department. Members of the Volunteer Fire and EMS department will be scooping ice cream and providing information about opportunities in the fire service. Bring the kids for fire truck and ambulance tours.
Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield first scooped up free ice cream all day back in 1979 as a way to thank the community for supporting them in their first year. Now it's an annual tradition at many of their scoop shops around the world. It's your chance to try any of our flavors for free and support a great cause at Ben & Jerry's in Canton. Customers will be encouraged to make a donation on Free Cone Day to support the Town of Canton Volunteer Fire & EMS Department.
"This year we're asking that everyone bring their loose change to help us "Fill the Fireman's Boot" to support the men and women who put their lives on the line for us everyday. Come out and show your support for Canton's Volunteer Fire & EMS
Department and get a Free Cone," said Phillip Killoran, Ben & Jerry's franchise owner. In 2010, Ben & Jerry's of Canton distributed nearly 4,200 servings of their super premium ice cream and raised over $2,000 during Free Cone Day - 100% of all donations support the purchase of training and equipment for fire and EMS volunteers. Since 2005, this annual event has helped to raise over $10,000 in donations for the Department.
Ben & Jerry's is located in The Shoppes at Farmington Valley, Rte 44 in Canton, just over the Avon/Simsbury line. |
