Graeter’s is a major donor to the The Cure Starts Now Foundation, which fights for the cure for children with brainstem glioma and cancer survivors everywhere. With the support of our customers, our annual Cones For The Cure campaign has raised over $2,200,000 to fund the quest for a cure to all cancers. A special flavor of ice cream was created specifically for the organization —Elena’s Blueberry Pie—to help raise awareness about TCSN’s mission. Graeter’s proudly supports Tender Mercies , which provides housing and supportive services for homeless adults with the histories of severe mental illness. Tender Mercies aims to prevent a return to the streets for the region’s most vulnerable persons. Graeter’s is also an annual major sponsor of The Dan Beard Council Boy Scouts of America®, helping to provide the funds needed to deliver a strong program to over 33,000 local youth. In addition to these major sponsorships, Graeter’s also supports Cincinnati Public Radio, which broadcasts WGUC, WVXU, and WMUB; The Greater Cincinnati Alzheimer’s Association, The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, The Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras, The University of Cincinnati Alumnae Foundation, The Ohio State University, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, and a number of other charitable and cultural organizations in our community. On a daily basis Graeter’s donates bakery items to local soup kitchens in the Cincinnati area. The store teams also gives its time to the organization Adopt-a-Class donating school supplies and time to inter-city youth.
