$315 for a quart of ice cream?!

    Published 

Yuengling's Ice Cream partnered with the Children's Cancer Recovery Foundation to sell the one millionth quart coming off the line, along with a collector's basket, to benefit CCRF.

The quart sold for $315 from Pottstown resident Jeff Erb.

The flavor, Sea Salt Caramel Swirl, was produced in March of this year. Along with the collectable quart, Erb will receive a letter of authenticity signed by David Yuengling himself and a gift basket complete with a Yuengling's Ice Cream sweatshirt, hat, ceramic bowl, scooper and coupons for four free quarts of ice cream.

When asked about why he bid on the quart and collector's basket, Erb told the company: "Why did I want to win? Because I love Yuengling's Ice Cream, it's for a good cause and it's local. Plus, it's all about the kids. My son and daughter will love the items in the gift basket, and will especially get good use out of the scoop (they eat a lot of ice cream!)."

Each member of the Yuengling's Ice Cream executive team will give a matching contribution, equal to the auction selling price of the quart, for an added donation of $945.
