“At Friendly’s, we’re not only a softie for ice cream but a softie for people too, which is why we’re so excited to bring back the Cones for Kids campaign this fall,” said Craig Erlich, CEO of Friendly’s Restaurants. “Our partnership with Easterseals supports the organization’s life-changing services in local communities for children and adults with disabilities. We’re so grateful to be able to continue our partnership and give back to our communities, one ice cream cone at a time.”

Friendly’s Cones for Kids campaign started in the early 1980s and has been a cherished tradition throughout the years. The campaign has raised more than $28 million for Easterseals local disability services over the years, helping millions of kids and adults in Friendly's markets nationwide.

“Easterseals is honored to once again benefit from the Cones for Kids campaign at Friendly’s,” said Easterseals President and CEO Angela F. Williams. “We are thankful for this long-standing partnership which, throughout the years, has helped support critical services for children and adults with disabilities and their families in Friendly’s markets nationwide.”
