Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Cold Stone Creamery is handing out free three-ounce "Sprinkled With Wishes" ice creams today to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation as part of its nationwide Ice Cream Social event.
From 5 to 8 p.m., claim your free ice cream sundae, made with sweet cream
ice cream, brownie, fudge and rainbow sprinkles. Then dig deep into
your pocket and make a donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
All
proceeds raised in South Florida stores go directly to the South
Florida chapter of this organization, which helps children with
life-threatening illnesses forget about their sickness for a while by
providing them with wish adventures like shopping sprees, celebrity meet-and-greets, and trips to Disney World.
Make-a-Wish
receives no federal or state funding and raises money to grant wishes
through corporate sponsorships, special events, foundation grants, and
individual contributions. The Southern Florida chapter grants a wish
every 16 hours, every day of the year, at an average cost of $5,000.
The ice cream social offer is available at all Cold Stone Creamery locations today from 5 to 8 p.m.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
