As part of its Pink Spoon Community Program, Baskin-Robbins will donate $1 from every smoothie sold in September to BGC Canada.<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto, September 3, 2024 <\/strong>\u2013 Baskin-Robbins aims to make the back-to-school season smoother for guests and Canadian youth this year. Throughout the month of September, the ice cream and frozen treat specialist offers a special promotion on its new Non-Dairy Real Fruit Smoothies \u2013 allocating $1 per Smoothie sold to BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada) in support of Canadian youth of all ages, and backgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cA refreshing smoothie is a treat any time of the year,\u201d says Natalie Joseph, spokesperson for Baskin-Robbins Canada. \u201cBut this is particularly true this September. As we all adjust to a new school year, it\u2019s nice to start things off with a treat for our heroic children, while helping to fund BGC programs that are accessible to all children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baskin-Robbins hopes to raise $30, 000 through the month-long campaign. Since 2017, Baskin Robbins has raised more than $130,000 in funds and in-kind value for BGC through programs such as this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom successful fundraising campaigns to generous in-kind donations, Baskin-Robbins Canada continues to show its commitment to BGC Clubs and the families and communities we serve across the country,\u201d says Brooke Duval, Senior Director, Partnerships & Philanthropy at BGC Canada \u201cNothing goes together better than kids and frozen treats and we are thrilled at this sweet opportunity from Baskin-Robbins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Available at all 116 Baskin-Robbins locations, Non-Dairy Real Fruit Smoothies are available in two flavours Strawberry and Mango. They are also available through delivery using major delivery apps.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Baskin-Robbins and BGC Canada announced the results of their first joint scholarship program, awarding four Canadian students $4,000 each to support post-secondary education.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.bgccan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BGC-Pink-Spoon-Kick-Off_EN-poster.jpg” title_text=”BGC Pink Spoon Kick-Off_EN – poster” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.bgccan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BGC-Pink-Spoon-Kick-Off_EN-smoothie.jpg” title_text=”BGC Pink Spoon Kick-Off_EN – smoothie” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
