THON started off with a bang as the Berkey Creamery announced that it would have a new flavor coming this year in honor of THON’s 45th year anniversary.

“We were honored when THON came to us about doing a special flavor,” said Jim Brown, assistant manager of creamery operations. “We thought what better way to pay tribute to the children and their families, and this amazing event.”

The name is inspired by THON’s golden ribbon, which symbolizes the fight against childhood cancer. A caramel golden ribbon can be found in the ice cream. Part of every purchase will be donated to THON.

This is the first time the Creamery has added a new flavor since “Monkey Business” last spring. It will also be available this weekend in the Bryce Jordan Center by Gate B.
