Kona Ice Invites Redland's Residents to "Chill" with FREE Shaved Ice

WHAT: To ease the pain of tax filing, Kona Ice is serving up a delicious cup of tax day relief for tense taxpayers in the Redlands.

Kona Ice will be parked at The Alta Vista Credit Union and Redlands Chamber of Commerce to hand out FREE cups of tropical shaved ice and complimentary Hawaiian leis to all who stop by. The refreshing treat will ensure that there is no taxation without relaxation this tax season.

The event is open to the public and media cameras. Interviews will be available onsite.

WHY: April 15th is America’s least favorite holiday. Between sifting through the mail for the correct paperwork, filling out form after form with painstaking detail and paying a hefty sum of money to Uncle Sam, tax day can be a real drag.

National Chill Out Day is one of the many ways Kona Ice is encouraging the nation to Flavor Our World.

The Flavor Our World campaign is committed to helping people everywhere by giving back. Whether it be in the form of a free Kona on Chill Out Day or a giveback check to a school, Kona Ice is committed to giving back to the people that make up our communities. National Chill Out Day is one small, yet powerful, way the brand hopes to put a smile on people’s faces.

Through partnerships with schools, youth sports leagues and other neighborhood organizations, Kona Ice has given back over $25 million to the communities it serves.
