Scoops for Scholars

August 6, 2026

(July 9, 2026) Last month’s ice cream social held at Chill in downtown Akron raised $930 for the Susan B. Kosich Endowed Scholarship for Marketing Communications of Akron Community Foundation! We are excited to award the second scholarship in Feb. 2027 at the American Advertising Awards.

15 gallons of our limited-edition flavor, “The Elvis,” was served throughout July. Chill donated a portion of Elvis sales to the scholarship.  

We also celebrated our District 5 ADDY award winners:
Emily Townsend, Olivia Richardson, Quinn Smith, and TRIAD!
Megan Robson, Pria Metcalf, Khoa Lê, Pritt Entertainment Group, and Secret Creative Org!

Thanks to everyone who attended the event and gave online to support our scholarship. If you missed it and want to help students, you can make a tax-deductible donation online.
