Graeter's Cones for the Cure is about more than just ice cream. Your support makes a difference for kids fighting cancer by helping to fund groundbreaking research. Each of our Cones Ambassador Warriors has their own story to tell about their battle and how much your support means to them.
Addison was a spunky, fun-loving girl who had so much more life to live. She was just like any other normal kid with one exception, she was fighting for her life. She was diagnosed with DIPG in March of 2019. Addison was the best patient and sweetest little girl. She went through more than most would ever go through in their entire life and still managed to have a smile on her face while spreading her sunshine everywhere she went. She fought bravely for 53 months and earned her angel wings on 8/11/23.
About The Cure Starts Now:
The Cure Starts Now represents something truly different – a grassroots effort dedicated to, not just fighting one cancer, but the elimination of ALL cancers.
In 2008, in support of The Cure Starts Now, Graeter’s ice cream auctioned off a once in a lifetime chance to create your own flavor. The winners of the auction worked with Graeter's to help develop a flavor to honor Elena Desserich, the inspiration for The Cure Starts Now. Now a Limited Edition seasonal flavor, Elena's Blueberry Pie honors the memories of all young lives affected by pediatric cancer and supports The Cure Starts Now's mission to find the Homerun Cure for all cancers.
