Foxborough's Patriot Place To Host Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl To-Go

The 2021 Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl can take place in the comfort of your own home with pick-up services at Patriot Place Thursday, August 19.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Normally, the Scooper Bowl is an annual fundraising event where friends and family can enjoy ice cream together while supporting both adult and pediatric cancer research and care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This year, amid new growing COVID-19 concerns, Patriot Place in Foxborough will serve as the pick-up spot for ice cream kits.

So that the fun isn't completely missed out on, the Jimmy Fund is offering ice cream box kits that can be taken home and enjoyed.

Each kit comes with ice cream for 4-6 people along with toppings, cones, and other treats to mix in. You will be able to pick up an ice cream kit from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Patriot Place Parking Lot 20C, located adjacent to the CVS Pharmacy and Starbucks.
