The company had its Free Cone Day on April 30, where customers were also encouraged to help raise money for the American Red Cross. Throughout the day, Carvel offered a $2 coupon book worth more than $20 in savings. All proceeds from sales of the coupon books went toward a $20,000 donation to support the organization’s disaster relief efforts. This year, Carvel surpassed $125,000 in total contributions to the American Red Cross since 2012. Mark your calendars for the company’s Free Cone Day next year on April 30.

The company is known for taking a stance with its values, and has demonstrated a strong advocacy for gay rights and marriage equality seizing numerous opportunities throughout its 37 year history.
I Dough, I Dough will be available in a special commemorative pint sleeve at participating scoop shops for a limited time. The commemorative pint sleeves can also be purchased online through the Human Rights campaign site, with all proceeds benefiting the organization.

Unilever’s Good Humor has brought back its iconic fleet of ice cream trucks with a new sampling tour. The company is asking customers to follow Twitter rather than chase the classic clang of ice cream truck bells to get their ice cream fix. The "Welcome to Joyhood" tour will make stops throughout the Northeast this summer as the 95-year-old brand seeks to update its mobile selling tactics for the contemporary age. Consumers can summon the truck by tweeting @GoodHumor as it makes stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Boston. And instead of playing a classic jingle, the truck will blast pop music and rock 'n' roll.
