Turning the fairways into philanthropy, the WM Phoenix Open in Scottsdale is not only showcasing golf talents but also featuring a cool collaboration with a local ice cream shop. Novel Ice Cream, an award-winning venture, has churned out an exclusive flavor, "WMPO Green Dream", specifically for the tournament's spectators.
According to a report by AZFamily, the new treat is a mint ice cream peppered with chocolate chips and pretzels, all topped with green and yellow candies to echo the tournament's colors. But beyond the burst of color and flavor, Novel Ice Cream is committing 20% of sales to the WM Phoenix Open Working For Tomorrow Fund, mingling enjoyment with environmental efforts and hunger relief in Arizona.
The green initiative doesn’t stop there. ABC15 highlighted the fund's objective, revealing that the sales are directly aiding non-profits focusing on sustainability projects and fighting hunger in the Valley. These scoops of "WMPO Green Dream" aren't just a frozen dessert but also a vehicle for change, contributing to a healthier, more sustainable community.
Fans eager to try this specialty can track down the ice cream truck in the WMPO Fan Zone. And for those looking for something more indulgent, the dough melt — ice cream nestled warmly between a glazed donut — awaits. Shawn Allard, owner of Novel Ice Cream, captured the sentiment, stating, "This collaboration lets us serve up something fun and flavorful while giving back to the community we love," according to a statement obtained by AZFamily.
Novel's reputation precedes it, having been ranked the top ice cream shop in the country by Yelp. They serve a rotating menu of 12 out of 250 possible flavors every day, ensuring freshness and variety for every visit. The excitement for this green gastronomic delight aligns with the WM Phoenix Open, scheduled from February 2-8 at TPC Scottsdale, promising fans a vibrant blend of sportsmanship and local flavors.
