Cold Stone Creamery is asking for a minimum $1 donation per sticker, with 100 percent of proceeds from the stickers being donated to Best Buddies International.

“We are always excited during this time of year as we have the opportunity to support our national philanthropy, Best Buddies, on an impactful and national scale,” said Kate Unger, senior vice president of marketing for Kahala Brands™, parent company of Cold Stone Creamery. “Cold Stone Creamery is eager to help raise money and support such an important organization for the third year in a row. We invite every customer of Cold Stone Creamery to share their support of friendship with the purchase of a Best Buddies sticker this August.
