According to a release from Ben & Jerry’s and Grand Strand Miracle Leagues, they hope that each cone or cup will bring in a donation of at least $1, enabling the nonprofit to raise over $13,000 on Tuesday.
“Free Cone Day has always been about gratitude – we want to thank our fans for being the best fans in the world with free ice cream and a moment of pure joy,” Chris Lee, local franchisee owner for Ben & Jerry’s Myrtle Beach wrote in a statement. “This year, more than ever, we’re reminded how powerful those small moments of happiness can be. We can’t wait to connect with our fans over a scoop of ice cream on the most Ben & Jerry-est day of the year!”
One of the Broadway at the Beach Ben & Jerry’s, 1303 Celebrity Circle, will have local weather celebrity and WPDE meteorologist Ed Piotrowski scooping ice cream.
Free Cone Day was first invented in 1979, as a way for for Ben & Jerry’s to give back to their community in Vermont. It now operates in more than 35 countries each year, a release said.
