We saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Harry Hamlin at the Dream Halloween fundraiser for Children Affected by AIDS where we served 1100 sundaes.

On Thursday, October 14th, Dandy Don’s is helping out by serving ice cream sundaes at the Welcome Home Block Party fundraiser for Upward Bound House.  Upward Bound House provides transitional housing for homeless families and affordable housing for seniors.

Jim Lewi on his LiveWorks Newsletter blog hailed the servers of Dandy Don’s Ice Cream for their intelligent and efficient work at a recent fundraiser.  He wrote, “Don’s staff knew what they were doing.  They were friendly, organized, and had pre-scooped their ice cream.  This may sound like a stupid thing to notice, but believe me, at a festival or event, it makes all the difference.  The super-nice woman who I spoke to explained that not only does it make serving customers faster… and  make sure servers’ arms don’t fall off, but also keeps their product’s consistency stable.  When a customer gets their ice cream, it is at just the right temperature.  Their ice cream is supposed to be hard and ‘you can’t really scoop hard ice cream’.”

Dandy Don’s served hot fudge sundaes at the Planned Parenthood fundraiser tonight.  Here’s a pic of Dandy Don himself and one of our servers in our black-and-white booth.

Maria Shriver, the First Lady of California, once again thanked Dandy Don for his donation of 550 mini sundaes today to the Special Olympics fundraiser on the Santa Monica Pier called Pier del Sol.  The four-hour event raises funds to assist the 12,500 athletes who participate in the Special Olympics.
