From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, Cold Stone Creamery on Broadway in Saratoga will be a local host of the company's eighth annual "world's largest ice cream social."

The event benefits Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, and has Cold Stone Creamery stores in the Capital District and throughout the United States, Guam and Puerto Rico raising money by selling an original ice cream creation made by a 5-year-old wish child, Jack.

His concoction, made of sweet cream ice cream with brownies, sprinkles and fudge, will be served in exchange for a $2 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Donations made today and all month long will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
