July is almost here and at Leopold’s Ice Cream that means two things – National Ice Cream Month and the start of the I Pledge for Ice Cream Project!

As a way to say “Thanks for Your Patriotism,” on July 1st from 4-7PM, Leopold’s Ice Cream will give any child (age 12 and under, accompanied by an adult) who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance a free child’s scoop of their choice in a cup, cake or sugar cone!  Patriotic participants should come to 212 East Broughton Street on July 1st from 4-7PM for the I Pledge for Ice Cream kick-off event.

After the kick-off, Leopold’s Ice Cream will hold additional I Pledge for Ice Cream events each Monday in July from 4-7pm.  The dates are as follows: July 4, 11, 18 & 25.  July 4th will be a special event with I Pledge festivities taking place outside and surprise treats (while they last) for all of the young participants!
 
Ice cream entrepreneur and Hollywood movie producer, Stratton Leopold and his wife Mary, launched the I Pledge for Ice Cream Project in Savannah, GA on July 1, 2010 to underscore the importance of teaching patriotism to young children.  This simple yet effective, project has been wildly successful, spreading all over the United States (36 states and over 117 shops participating).  All participating stores are listed on the program website, www.IPledgeForIceCream.com
