PHILADELPHIA, May 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Let's Lick Leukemia... I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream! Over the past 9 years the Joshua Kahan Fund's "all you can eat" ice cream events have raised nearly $600,000 to help find a cure for pediatric leukemia.
On Friday July 4th, Saturday July 5th, and Sunday July 6th, 2008, you can make a sweet donation to help in the fight against pediatric leukemia while enjoying scoops of family fun at the 10th Annual All-You-Can-Eat Ice Cream Festival on the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing.
The All-You-Can-Eat Ice Cream Festival will be held from noon to 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday & Sunday with extended evening hours on Saturday July 5 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The admission price for the All-You-Can-Eat Ice Cream Festival is only $5.00 per person.
Indulge in frozen ice cream delights from over 20 different Ice Cream & Water Ice companies. Family favorites such as Haagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, Edy's, Breyer's/Good Humor, Bassett's, Turkey Hill, Jack & Jill, and Philadelphia Water ice will all be present, along with many others sampling their cool treats.
All net proceeds from the event benefit the Joshua Kahan Fund to fight pediatric leukemia and the Children's Hospital Oncology Division. The Joshua Kahan Fund was established in memory of Joshua Kahan, a two-year-old boy who loved ice cream, fire trucks and his family. Joshua lost his battle with AML Leukemia in 1997, seven weeks short of his third birthday. In honor of their son, Jeffrey and Michele Kahan formed the Joshua Kahan Fund to raise awareness for pediatric leukemia research and improve the quality of life for pediatric cancer patients and their families.
This festival is part of the Sunoco Welcome America! Celebration and is one of the many festivals, concerts and events taking place at Penn's Landing this summer.
