Fun with Sundaes

Do we ever really need an excuse to eat ice cream?
Okay, so sometimes we do (just so we can feel better about ourselves), which is one of the things I really appreciated about the Sundae Funday event that I recently attended. Yes, the ice cream was definitely delish, but the sentiment behind the event was even more appealing.

Sundae Funday is an initiative supported by Frigidaire, raising funds for Save the Children Canada and dedicated to improving the lives of kids here at home, with a focus on aboriginal children. The goal is to help parents raise emotionally secure, physically healthier kids and strong communities.

So how does it work? There are a few ways to help. You can build a virtual sundae (if you’re looking for a fun activity to try on a rainy day with the kids that won’t have any caloric content), and for every sundae created before July 16, Frigidaire will donate $1 to Save the Children Canada.

For a fun way to bring your community together, you can also host a sundae party through the summer. The online kit offers printable invitations, colouring pages, party planning tips, sundae recipe ideas and more—and all you would need to do is encourage guests to make a $5 donation for each sundae they build. It’s a yummy way to contribute to a great cause and bond with your neighbours and friends.

So if you’re looking for an excuse to throw a party or simply enjoy some ice cream, here’s a great start!
