Tropical Smoothie Café
Spreads Sunshine in Las
Vegas on
National Flip Flop Day – THIS FRIDAY, June 17
More than 10,000 FREE Jetty Punch™ smoothies will be given away in fundraising effort for Camp Sunshine
If it’s summer, it’s National
Flip Flop Day at Tropical Smoothie Café. All 20 Tropical Smoothie Café Las
Vegas locations welcome the start of the 2011 summer season with its fifth
annual National Flip Flop Day celebration. This Friday, June 17, the first 500
customers who visit each of the 20 Las Vegas locations wearing flip flop sandals will receive a
free 24-oz. Jetty Punch™ smoothie.
In addition to giving away
more than 10,000 free smoothies to area customers, for the fourth year Tropical
Smoothie Café is raising money for Camp Sunshine—a summer camp designed
specifically for children with life-threatening illness and their families to
provide a week of rest, relaxation, plus medical counseling and much-needed
emotional support.
Now through June 26, 2011, Tropical Smoothie Café invites customers to
contribute to the Camp Sunshine fundraising effort through the purchase of $1 paper
flip-flops, which are posted throughout each store. Customers who donate $5 or
more in-store will receive a Flip Flop Key Fob good for 10 percent off all
purchases in 2011. Customers can also text “CAMP” to 20222 to donate $10 automatically, with charges appearing on their
mobile phone bill. Proceeds from all sales of Sunrise Sunset smoothies will
also be given to Camp Sunshine.
Camp Sunshine, a retreat in Casco,
Maine for children with life-threatening illnesses and
their families, is a nonprofit that hosts families year-round to alleviate the
stress and strain for the sick child and their family members. To date,
Tropical Smoothie Café’s throughout the company have donated $770,000 to the
cause and plan to raise more than $1,000,000 by National Flip Flop Day 2011.
Nationwide, franchisees execute community fundraising events during the 6 weeks
prior to National Flip Flop Day and donations are collected year-round.
