LONG BEACH, Calif., June 20, 2024 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) - Dr. Bombay, the ice cream brand founded by Snoop Dogg, has announced a partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs in Long Beach, Pittsburgh, and Portland. The collaboration will bring ice cream socials and educational programs to youth in these communities over the summer.
Starting today, Dr. Bombay will host an ice cream social at the Boys & Girls Club in Long Beach. Children participating in basketball activities will have the chance to enjoy Dr. Bombay's unique ice cream flavors, including the new Strawberry Cream Dream and Baked Blueberry Muffin. The event will be followed by a science lesson in the fall, conducted by Dr. Maya Warren, an ice cream expert. This lesson will form part of the club’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curriculum, providing a comprehensive sensory experience that explores the science behind the taste, smell, texture, and flavor of ice cream. This initiative aims to eventually develop a broader consumer packaged goods (CPG) program demonstrating the integration of science, art, math, and technology in product creation.
Reflecting on his own experiences, Snoop Dogg stated, “The Boys & Girls Club in Long Beach at King Park is where I spent my summers playing sports and cutting up with my friends on the court. Ever since I was a kid, ice cream was a way to chill, relax and connect as family. I’m glad we can bring a little ice cream magic to the summer, as well as give them an opportunity to learn something new and fun.”
Two years ago, Snoop Dogg collaborated with Under Armour and Steph Curry to renovate the indoor gym at the club, incorporating design elements inspired by the park where Snoop and his wife spent their childhoods playing basketball. Currently, the Snoop Youth Basketball League, operating out of the club, offers no-cost advanced basketball training and supports youth participation in competitive travel tournaments.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach offer a robust summer program featuring a mix of sports, art, music, gardening, and field trips designed to combine learning with fun. These activities are intended to keep children engaged and help prevent summer learning loss while providing them with memorable experiences.
Dr. Bombay ice cream is available in major retailers across the country, including Walmart, Publix, Kroger, and many others. For a full list of locations, visit www.drbombaysnax.com.
