AUDIO: Cup has always historically done a celebration. It’s usually in June or July, close to the actual anniversary. We definitely wanted to celebrate “75” and do something big for it. And now just felt like the right time that we were in position to do that. It represents the donations from the customers, plus $1,000 each month from the Custard Cup directly.
The current Custard Cup beneficiary, which customers can donate to right now, is the Dwelling Place of Vermilion County.
