For those of you near a participating Carvel location, mark your calendars for Thursday, May 1, 2014.
FREE Cone Day is from 3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., and guests will receive a FREE junior cone with one of three ice cream choices: vanilla, chocolate, or salted caramel. Yum!
The following is how Carvel explained their FREE Cone Day along with their fundraiser on their website:
Carvel … America’s Freshest Ice Cream®, is launching its summer-long 80th anniversary celebration with Free Cone Day Thursday, May 1 from 3-8 p.m.
Participating Carvel® shoppes will treat guests to a free junior cone filled with their choice of freshly made vanilla, chocolate or their all-new salted caramel soft-serve ice cream.
In addition to enjoying free ice cream, guests can support a good cause on Free Cone Day. Throughout the day, Carvel will offer a $2 coupon book worth more than $20 in savings. 100% of all proceeds from sales of the coupon books will go towards a $30,000 donation to the American Red Cross® to support Disaster Relief.
This effort will raise the company’s total contributions to the American Red Cross to $80,000 over the last three years.“We hope everyone will come out on Free Cone Day and try one on us,” said Carvel President Scott Colwell. “I can’t think of a more appropriate way to kick-off our 80th anniversary celebration than giving our guests free, fresh ice cream and raising money for the American Red Cross®.”
Carvel serves only 100 percent delicious soft- serve and scooped ice cream treats and cakes that are hand-crafted daily at local Carvel shoppes. Guests this year can try the new salted caramel soft serve ice cream on Free Cone Day and for a limited time throughout summer, which features deliciously creamy caramel ice cream and a hint of salt.
Since its inception in 1934 as the first retail ice cream franchise in the country, Carvel has expanded its menu to include an extensive line of fresh soft – serve and scooped ice cream, take-home novelty treats and premium ice cream cakes.
