August 18, 2006 - DATELINE: BOSTON; BROOKLINE; JAMAICA PLAIN; NEWTON CENTRE; SOMERVILLE AND WEST ROXBURY, MA… J.P. Licks Homemade Ice Cream Café revealed the original Peace Games flavor last week at all seven stores with proceeds from the August 8th launch benefiting Peace Games.
“S’World Peace” is the custom flavor created by Raymond Sozzi, Jr., a long time supporter and Board member of the Peace Games. Sozzi won the “J.P. Licks Flavor Creation” opportunity at the School House Rocks fundraiser auction held in April which raises funds for Peace Games.
Sozzi, with the assistance of J.P. Licks founder Vince Petryk, created S’World Peace, which is a sweet cream ice cream with chunks of brownie and a mint fudge swirl.
Throughout the month of August, J.P. Licks will continue to donate 10 percent of sales from S’World Peace to Peace Games.
