Summertime is here, and with the blazing sun shining down all season long, there’s few better ways to beat the heat than with a tasty scoop of ice cream. When we’re bogged down by the dog days of summer, kicking back and cooling off is just the thing we need to make our way through this sweltering season. And what if your ice cream indulge was for a good cause? That certainly sounds like a sweet deal to us!
