Scream for Ice Cream

Join the American Dairy Association of Indiana and its Hoosier Dairy Farm Families as they “Scream for Ice Cream” at the 21st annual Ice Cream Social on the Circle!

Delicious chocolate, strawberry, caramel, and butterscotch sundaes are on the menu on Friday, July 9, from 11 am to 2 pm, on the northwest quadrant of Monument Circle in Downtown Indianapolis.

For just $3, ice cream lovers can indulge their taste buds with enormous sundaes made from delicious Edy’s Slow Churned Light Ice Cream drizzled with a variety of Smuckers syrups, sprinkled with an array of toppings and crowned with a gigantic dollop of whipped cream.

 All monies raised through the sale of sundaes will benefit Marlin Jackson’s Fight For Life Foundation. The organization impacts the lives of underprivileged youth by focusing on programming in the areas of education and wellness. The Foundation is dedicated to enlightening children on how to overcome the peer pressures of poverty by encouraging positive behaviors in an effort to reach their dreams and goals. Last year, sales of more than 2700 sundaes in three hours raised in excess of $8600 for Jackson’s foundation.

Always a crowd favorite – Celebrity Scoopers! Over 30 local celebrity scoopers will help prepare sundaes from six serving tents positioned around the northwest quadrant of the Circle.
