KEEPING IT COOL: Mayor Allan Fung is pictured with 9-year-old twin Wish Kids Temitope and Toluwani Olaride and Cold Stone owner Man Mehrotra. Temitope had her wish granted already, which was to travel to Disney with her family and as of now, Toluwani would like to have a pool in his bedroom. Make-A-Wish is working on something special.

The Cold Stone Creamery, located in Chapel View in Cranston, hosted the 11th World’s Largest Annual Ice Cream Social on Sept. 27, to help raise money for wishes in local communities. Throughout the month of September, Cold Stone Creamery stores were donating $1 from the sale of Make-A-Wish stars.

Cranston Mayor Allan Fung joined the Stone Cold Creamery associates as a special guest “scooper,” along with local Wish children and Make-A-Wish volunteers who were there to answer questions about the Foundation.

Cold Stone Creamery has supported Make-A-Wish America since 2002 to help Make-A-Wish chapters across the country grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
