Bend Ben & Jerry’s Celebrates Annual Free Cone Day with Local Non-Profit Healthy Beginnings – Tues. April 4th

Bend, OR, – The local Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop located next to the movie theaters in the Old Mill Shopping District (680 SW Powerhouse Dr) continues the long-standing tradition of Free Cone Day as a way of saying thanks and giving back to the community with free cones for all – Noon – 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4th.

Celebrity Scoopers this year include: County Commissioner Tammy Baney, Bend City Council Member Sally Russell, local comedians Chelsea Woodmansee and Brent Bidot, Newschannel 21 newscasters Alex Biston, Michaela Beecham, and Danette Schlapfer, radio personalities Lisa Carton, Dave Clemens and Tracee Tuesday and local entertainers Janelle and Jake are scheduled throughout the event.

“We are excited for 2017, and want to be the best we can be at making our customers happy, and we are very excited to be sharing Ben & Jerry’s amazing Ice Cream with the community!” stated Kimi Smith, the store manager.

Healthy Beginnings is partnering with Ben and Jerry’s in support of the health and well-being of young children in our community. Representatives from Healthy Beginnings will also be present to describe services and answer questions.

Donations will be accepted with all proceeds from this event dedicated to assisting kids and families in your community ensuring that every child has a healthy beginning.

Last year Ben & Jerry’s customers provided nearly $1,300 in donations from this event with all proceeds supporting essential services to local kids and families. “Events like this have helped Healthy Beginnings screen and refer nearly 1,000 children last year and without community sponsors, our work could not take place” says Holly Remer, the Executive Director of the program.
