Tuesday, April 21st is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s, and you know what that means… free ice cream for you! That’s my son Stephen with the alto sax. This Ben and Jerry’s collects money for Opportunities Unlimited. OPPORTUNITIES UNLIMITED OF NIAGARA, the Niagara County chapter of NYSARC, Inc. (formerly the New York State Association for Retarded Children), is the largest not-for-profit organization in Niagara County providing programs and services to people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The agency provides day programming, employment and training, service coordination (for any age), recreation (youth and adult), geriatric assessments, exceptional parenting programs, residential services, clinical services, and supportive services to more than 800 families annually. Last year this fundraiser raised over $900. for the organization.
As a way to thank our customers for their support and to celebrate 31 years of scooping the chunkiest, funkiest ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet, Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops are happily giving it away! Maybe it’s time for you to try a new flavor that you’ve been wondering about without committing your hard earned dollars or it’s time for you to enjoy an old favorite and savor in the deliciousness that is free ice cream?
Hey, either way it’s time for you to come on in! Around the world, Scoop Shops are opening their doors from noon to 8:00 pm, to serve up a free scoop of your favorite flavor. Please check with your local Scoop Shop for more info! Grab a pal and come on down to have some good, ’scream fun on us!
Mr. Manth led the North Tonawanda High School Jazz Ensemble through several songs as they provided entertainment for shoppers at the mall while they enjoyed their free Ben and Jerry’s.

What a great idea for a fundraiser and a great cause. It is nice to see teenagers volunteering their time and through the photos getting recognized for something very positive!
