The Cure Starts Now Foundation

Graeter's is a major donor to the The Cure Starts Now Foundation, which fights for the cure for children with brainstem glioma and cancer survivors everywhere. With the support of our customers, our annual Cones For The Cure campaign has raised over $2,200,000 to fund the quest for a cure to all cancers. A special flavor of ice cream was created specifically for the organization —Elena’s Blueberry Pie—to help raise awareness about TCSN’s mission.

Tender Mercies

Graeter's proudly supports Tender Mercies , which provides housing and supportive services for homeless adults with the histories of severe mental illness. Tender Mercies aims to prevent a return to the streets for the region’s most vulnerable persons.
