We are happy to announce that Perry’s Ice Cream is dishing out cool treats to heat up participation for the Food Bank of Western New York’s fifth annual Walk Off Hunger Saturday, July 28 at Island Park in Williamsville. Is your school missing the party? Not to late to join and get your school an ice cream social!

If your school ends up with the most walkers, Perry’s Ice Cream is coming to you! 10 more days to enter, the contest ends on June 1. Registration for 18 and younger is FREE.

At this point, St. Gregory the Great leads the competition, but there is plenty of time for any school to make a second-half-of-May surge.

Each month the Food Bank of WNY services nearly 36,356 families, including 41,600 children, through its member agencies in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties.

We thank Perry’s for support and for making a difference in the fight to end hunger.

Don’t wait, sign up today!

In 1984 President Reagan proclaimed July to be National Ice Cream Month and recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90% of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” So it is almost our civic duty to eat ice cream more frequently in July.

In theme with this month’s celebration we picked 10 To-Dos challenge a true ice cream fan would put him/herself up to this month:

1. Visit 3 new ice cream stands
2. Try 3 new flavors, here are the new ones for Perry’s in  2012 – NEW FLAVORS
3. Try a non-classic banana split
4. Eat ice cream for breakfast
5. Eat a new homemade Sundae
6. Make an ice cream cake and share with friends and family - lots of ideas HERE and HERE
7. Share a scoop with someone you love
8. Take your parents/grandparents (and/or grandchildren) out for ice cream
9. Eat ice cream while splashing in a pool, lake, river or the ocean!
10. Try Perry’s new All Natural Premium Ice Cream!
