From 5-8 p.m. on Sept. 30, Cold Stone Creamery will give away a FREE 3-ounce serving of the featured Creation™, Kate’s Creation, while encouraging guests to make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Kate, 11, is the Junior Tastemaster behind this year’s Make-A-Wish® Creation. She asked the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant her wish to design the flavor that ice cream lovers around the nation would savor during the “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social.” Cold Stone Creamery welcomed Kate to its Arizona headquarters, where she learned the sweet science of creating ice cream flavors with Tastemaster Ray Karam. She spent a day in the lab, got her own business cards and helped develop marketing plans for her Creation: caramel apple ice cream mixed with graham cracker pie crust, chocolate shavings and apple pie filling.

As an ice cream connoisseur, Kate’s one true wish was to create the exclusive flavor for the “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social.” By attending the event and trying Kate’s Creation, guests will help Kate’s wish come true and contribute to granting the wishes of other seriously ill children.

Donations that night and all month long will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

WHO: Supporters of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and ice cream lovers are encouraged to partake in this indulgent event, cooling off with ice cream and supporting a great cause.
WHERE: Cold Stone Creamery locations nationwide.
WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010, from 5-8 p.m.
WHAT: Cold Stone Creamery has supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation since 2002, generating more than $3.6 million in donations. Cold Stone has dedicated the month of September to raising funds for the Foundation. In addition to the event, guests can donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and receive a paper wish star to write their name on that will be posted inside stores during the month.

Several Free Food at OU “Stop Paying For Food” stickers have been dropped off and left for students on the first floor of Elliot hall.  Find the individual stickers sitting on ledges and near seating areas- stick it to something special!  Great to put on your laptop, notebook, mirror, or your cats face.  More to come this week- good luck!

On Wednesday September 29 at 11:00am we received word that strawberry smoothies (most likely samples) are being given away near the cafe in the Oakland Center.  Grab one!  Thanks to Bk for the tip.
