Brunswick Area Teen Center Gelato Fiasco Scoop-a-thon

Gelato Fiasco and the Brunswick Area Teen Center are excited to announce the 16th annual Teen Center Scoop-a-thon! Area businesses and residents are invited to support community youth at the Gelato Fiasco Flagship Store in Brunswick from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday, April 24. Gelato Fiasco will donate $2.00 from every dish, cone, pint, or coffee sold to the Brunswick Area Teen Center. Purchases will count from all customers and no special code is needed. This event is also sponsored by many local businesses.

Throughout the day there will be entertainment, a 50/50 raffle, and celebrity scoopers, and Bowdoin College will be providing nighttime entertainment and scoopers.

This is the 19th year of the Teen Center Program and 16th annual Scoop-a-Thon. These annual events have seen over 1,000 people participating yearly and have raised over $100,000 for the Teen Center Program!

“We really appreciate so many people coming together to support teens over these many years,” said Mitch Newlin, an employee-owner of Gelato Fiasco. “And the tremendous number of people who volunteer as celebrity scoopers or entertainers always make this such a fun event.”
