One Scoop at a Time: Sweet Support for a Serious Cause
In September 2024, The Max Pound Foundation partnered with Sanctuary Farm’s local dairy and ice cream stand to host HAPPY DAYS!, a community fundraiser celebrating summer, family, and the sweet power of giving back. Through this collaboration, community members came together to enjoy ice cream treats while raising awareness and funds for pediatric brain cancer research — because there’s no sweeter way to support a great cause than with a great cone.
Sanctuary Farm’s ice cream stand is rooted in traditional dairy farm values, offering handcrafted ice cream and treats in a family‑friendly setting that encourages visitors of all ages to connect with the farm and each other. Local farms like this often serve as community gathering places, bringing people together around wholesome experiences while supporting meaningful causes.
The HAPPY DAYS! event helped highlight how local businesses and nonprofits can partner creatively to make a difference. By blending a fun, accessible atmosphere with fundraising for pediatric brain cancer research, this event demonstrated how grassroots initiatives — even something as everyday as enjoying a scoop of ice cream — can contribute to larger impact.
