Cold Stone Creamery will fulfill more than just ice cream wishes and waffle cone dreams this month as Cold Stone Creamery stores launch a month-long fundraising effort to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.


All Cold Stone Creamery ice cream and ice cream cake purchases made in September will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Also, for a$1 donation, Cold Stone will invite ice cream lovers to invent their own signature ice cream Creations™ and have their names and recipes inscribed on a special Make-A-Wish star to be posted on the store walls throughout the month.

In September, Cold Stone Creamery will also debut “Cole’s Creation” inspired by Cole, a 10-year-old wish kid from Colorado. Cole’s Creation consists of chocolate ice cream blended on a cold granite stone with yellow cake, chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles.
