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.
Wyatt was diagnosed with an Ependymoma brain tumor at age 3 and has been wrangling the after-effects ever since. He gets regular scans to make sure the tumor stays gone—and so far, so good. After each scan, his first post-sedation meal is always Graeter’s ice cream. Ice cream first, then real food (eventually). Now 6, he takes on each day with grit, mischief, and full cowboy style. We love our Wyatt to the moon and back …and then some!

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.
