There’s a lot going on this time of year: back-to-school, fall fun, and….Cones for the Cure! You can enjoy FREE Graeter’s ice cream AND help find a cure for cancer with Graeter’s and The Cure Starts Now. The annual Cones for the Cure campaign runs from September 9-19, 2021 to raise money to find the Homerun Cure for cancer by focusing on pediatric brain cancer.

During this event, Graeter’s will offer a special flavor, Elena’s Blueberry Pie Ice Cream. This flavor was created in honor of Elena Desserich, the 6-year-old, Cincinnati inspiration behind The Cure Starts Now. She was diagnosed in 2006 with DIPG brain cancer and gained her wings just nine months later.
