Great American Cookies, the Original Cookie Cake franchise, and
Marble Slab Creamery, the imaginative small-batch ice cream brand,
proudly announce their partnership with March of Dimes, the leading
nonprofit fighting for the health of moms and babies. Tapping into
the brands’ synergies of celebrating family milestones, the three
organizations will join forces to honor Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU) patients, their families, and the healthcare
professionals caring for them.
To celebrate heroic NICU employees on Sept. 28,
NICU Staff Appreciation Day, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab
Creamery will provide a sweet surprise to select NICU teams around
the country by delivering Original Cookie Cakes and Ice Cream
Cakes. In honor of NICU Awareness Day on Sept. 30, Great American
Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery will donate $1 to March of Dimes
for every purchase made in-store or online. Additionally, customers
who order Cookie Cakes or Ice Cream Cakes online on Sept. 30 (and
pick up no later than Oct. 7) receive $3 off their Cookie Cake or
Ice Cream Cake with code.
Many babies will spend their earliest days
in the NICU due to preterm birth, birth defects, surgical or
genetic conditions, or other diagnosis. This time can be stressful
and overwhelming for families. The funds raised will help further
March of Dimes' critical support for families through programs like
the NICU Family Support® program, which offers family education,
staff training on family-centered care and an improved patient
experience.
"With 1 in 10 babies born preterm each year,
many of whom will spend time in the NICU, we appreciate the
remarkable impact NICU staff have on families," said Jenn Johnston,
Chief Marketing Officer at FAT Brands, Inc. "At Marble Slab
Creamery and Great American Cookies, we love sharing milestone
moments with families, whether it’s a birthday or first steps –
every milestone is worth celebrating. We have the perfect Cookie
Cakes and Ice Cream Cakes to do just that! We are proud to raise
funds to further the March of Dimes mission to improve the health
of all moms and babies.”
"For more than 20 years, March of
Dimes has been there for families with a baby in the NICU and
as they transition home, offering the support and
education they need, right when they need it," said Kelly
Ernst, March of Dimes Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue and
Impact Officer. “This NICU Awareness Month, we are inspired by
Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery’s commitment to
celebrate the dedicated staff that work so hard to take care of
thousands of families each year with support from our hospital
partners across the country as part of their exciting Milestones
Matter initiative.”
For nearly 40 years, Marble Slab Creamery has
been an innovator in the ice cream space, dreaming up the frozen
slab technique and offering homemade, small-batch ice cream with
free unlimited mix-ins, shakes in a variety of flavors, and ice
cream cakes.
Since 1977, Great American Cookies has baked up
a reputation for not only being the creator of the Original Cookie
Cake, but also for its famous chocolate chip cookie recipe. Other
craveable menu items include brownies and Double Doozies™, made
with delectable icing sandwiched between two cookies.
