Jel Sert adds Childhood Cancer Gold Ribbon to Fla-Vor-Ice Packaging!

We have exciting news to share from our national office!


Kensington, MD - Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation is excited to announce the production of the first Gold Ribbon specially marked commercial product. Available now in your grocery store are specially marked boxes of Jel Sert's Fla-Vor-Ice. Fla-Vor-Ice® was introduced by Jel Sert in 1969, and quickly became the leading freezer pop in the United States. The Jel Sert Company is proud to extend its corporate commitment to sponsor the Gold Ribbon for Childhood Cancer on its Fla-Vor-Ice products.

Jel Sert’s Fla-Vor-Ice has delighted families for over 35 years with great tasting freezer bars made with 25% real fruit juice. Now proudly displaying the gold ribbon for childhood cancer awareness, Fla-Vor-Ice is helping Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation support our nation’s littlest cancer patients.

To thank Jel Sert for their commitment to our nation's children with cancer, we are asking that you take a few minutes to thank the company. You can email them using the drop down at the bottom of the page at: http://www.jelsert.com/contact_us.asp or you can call them at: 800-323-2592. Please let them know how thrilled we are that they have chosen to support this childhood cancer cause.

We also encourage you to check our your local grocery stores and make sure that they are carrying the specially marked Fla-Vor-Ice product.
