ParentWISE Ice Cream Blast canceled for crowd safety concerns
The popular ParentWISE Ice Cream Blast has been canceled.
The 25th annual fundraiser was scheduled for July 18 at Kirk S. Nevin Arena at Lynch Field in Greensburg.
“In the interest of keeping our friends, families and guests safe, we felt strongly that we could not host an event that brought over 800 people together in the (arena),” said Julie Cawoski, director of family and community support programs for Wesley Family Services.
The event has been rescheduled for July 17, 2021.
The Ice Cream Blast is sponsored by Dairy Queen and the City of Greensburg. Proceeds benefit classes and services for families, caregivers, children and teens offered by ParentWISE, a program of Wesley Family Services.
