Free Smoothies at Tropical Smoothie Cafe!

Tropical Smoothie Café, the leading fast casual café concept known by Arlington Heights residents for its better-for-you food and smoothies, is launching its annual National Flip Flop Day fundraising efforts to encourage donations for Camp Sunshine. On June 19th, Tropical Smoothie Café will be offering free 24 oz. Jetty Punch smoothies to guests wearing flip flops between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Other activities taking place include prize raffles. The café is located at 315 E. Rand Road at Arlington Heights Road behind the Shell Station.

Currently in its 9th year of giving back on National Flip Flop Day, Tropical Smoothie Café is dedicated to helping children with life-threatening illnesses and their families by raising funds to benefit Camp Sunshine, a resort that provides respite, support and joy to these children and their families in times of need. Tropical Smoothie Café is committed to reaching $1 million in donations this year and donation boxes will be placed in stores nationwide throughout the month of June.

In addition to offering free smoothies in stores, Tropical Smoothie Café CEO Mike Rotondo will literally go the extra mile to support Camp Sunshine on June 19th with a 7-mile trek down the length of Manhattan in flip flops. To raise awareness and funds for the charity, Rotondo will make several stops along the way at various New York City landmarks to hand out free smoothies to passersby and collect donations.

“Camp Sunshine is a place where families can have fun in a safe and welcoming environment, and one of our favorite times of year is National Flip Flop Day when we do our part to give back to our charity partner,” said Charmaine Lowe, owner of Tropical Smoothie Café of Arlington Heights. “We are honored to be a part of this annual celebration and rally local Arlington Heights residents to support this wonderful cause.”
