“We’re excited to partner with Baskin-Robbins again this year,” said Rachael MacKenzie-Neill, Vice-President, Development & Public Affairs at BGC Canada. “An annual partnership such as this one allows our team to plan ahead and navigate some of the obstacles that our teams face throughout the year like higher grocery costs, hiring staff and training volunteers.”

The annual fundraiser, named after the iconic pink spoon, used for years by the brand around the world, is held across the 115 Baskin-Robbins locations in Canada. With over $65,000 donated since 2017, the program is growing as are the needs of youth across the country. 

Baskin-Robins hopes to raise $20, 000 through the month-long campaign. 

Paper icons are also available in-store for guests to enjoy and interact with the fundraising campaign.

“The Ultimate Take-Home Sundae is a sweet treat that has been hugely successful across the country,” says Natalie Joseph, spokesperson for Baskin-Robbins in Canada. “Through this campaign, we are able to thank our guests for their eagerness to try something new, which they will enjoy, while contributing to a great cause.”

Available right from the freezer, The Ultimate Take-Home Sundae is available in three flavours — Cookie Dough Deluxe, Caramel Cookies ‘n Cream and Chocolate Brownie Deluxe, retailing at $9.99 for a 12 oz pint of indulgence. It is also available through delivery and at order.baskinrobbin.ca.
