Stack those cups! Enthusiasts of Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl® presented by Herb Chambers raised over $410,000 to benefit Dana-Farber patients and families. Over three sunny days in June, more than 10,000 attendees gathered to enjoy unlimited ice cream, with proceeds supporting The Dana-Farber Campaign’s mission to defy cancer. This year marked the return of Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl to Boston’s City Hall Plaza for the first time since 2019. The beautifully re-designed plaza was the perfect backdrop for New England’s sweetest kickoff to summer.
Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl is the nation’s largest all-you-can-eat ice cream festival, and this year’s event featured more than 14 unique ice cream partners. With the help of national staples like Ben & Jerry’s® and Tillamook® and local favorites like Holy Cow Ice Cream Café and Bliss Premium Ice Cream, over 900 gallons of ice cream were brought in.
To close out the three-day long festivities, ice cream lovers 21 years and up were able to enjoy more top creameries, along with two drink tickets, inside the Scoop at Night tent. Thanks to the support of ticketholders, sponsors, and volunteers, this year’s Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl and Scoop at Night were a sweet success, with critical funds raised to help conquer cancer once and for all.
