Million dollar ice cream
I can’t believe I missed this one. It did happen before I started the blog, so I’ll blame that for now, but this is a very cool way to raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Bruster’s waffle cone masterpiece was created by diamond manufacturer, Lazare Kaplan International Inc., and consists of nearly 20 troy ounces of 18k white and yellow gold, 548 round Lazare Diamonds, 87 Lazare square emerald cut diamonds, and one breathtaking 5.63 carat Fancy Intense Yellow radiant cut diamond. The 152.16 carat total weight one-of-a-kind piece has a retail value of $1 million and is for sale!
“At Bruster’s we’re dedicated to providing a superior ice cream product in a fun, social environment,” said Jim Sahene, CEO, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream. “Bruster’s creation of a $1 Million Cone symbolizes the outstanding quality of our ice cream, and its sale provides the platform to speak about the positive impact of one-on-one mentoring relationships like those cultivated by Big Brothers Big Sisters.”
Bruster’s, which recently announced a corporate sponsorship of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, will donate its proceeds from the sale of the $1 Million Ice Cream Cone to the mentoring organization.
“Our partnership with Bruster’s began just a few months ago, but in that time we have been so impressed with the company’s commitment and dedication,” said Judy Vredenburgh, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Bruster’s $1 Million Ice Cream Cone will certainly draw a lot of attention and increase awareness about the importance of one-to-one mentoring in helping children achieve their potential.”
All I know is that I didn’t like ice cream very much before I saw this. I think I may have to change my position on that.
