On National Frozen Custard Day, August 8, Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers will sell $1 single scoop cake cones and dishes of its chocolate and vanilla frozen custard.
 
Freddy's will donate 50 cents of every scoop to charity. Guests will be asked to vote for their favorite of two national charities: Kids In Need Foundation and Playworks.
 
The Kids in Need Foundation provides free school supplies to students in need. Last year the organization helped 4.8 million students in some of the most challenged communities in the United States.
 
“We are so pleased to be partners with Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers,” said Dave Smith, executive director of the Kids In Need Foundation. “With supplies, students' classroom behavior improves and grades go up, because kids feel they have a better chance of achieving."
 
Playworks aims to improve the health and well-being of children at school by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play. Currently, the organization serves more than 1,200 schools in 23 U.S. cities.
 
“We are excited to partner with Freddy’s,” says Jill Vialet, founder and CEO of Playworks. “With your vote, Playworks will be able to help even more kids across the U.S. experience safe and healthy play."
