Cecilia’s Big Ten Raises $830 for Scholarship

August 6, 2025

Thanks to everyone for celebrating Cecilia’s Big Ten and supporting students!

The event raised $750 for the Susan B. Kosich Endowed Scholarship for Marketing Communications of Akron Community Foundation. Chill Artisan Ice Cream Co. in downtown Akron served up 12 gallons of “Cecilia’s Summer S’mores” during the month of July and donated an additional $80 to the Fund.

We’re excited to give out the first scholarship next year on Feb. 27 at our American Advertising Awards!

If you missed the Big Ten event, you can still make a tax-deductible donation online. Your donation fully supports the scholarship.

Thank you for making it a happy National Ice Cream Month! 🍦❤️
