Kids will explore the science behind ice
cream and scoop up some Dr. Bombay
LONG
BEACH, Calif., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Long
Beach native Snoop Dogg is bringing his Dr. Bombay ice cream to Boys & Girls Clubs of
America - Movement Resource Group Clubs in Long Beach- his home town, Pittsburgh and Portland, Oregon. Over 9 events this
summer!
Today, Thursday, June 20, Dr.
Bombay will host an ice cream
social for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach. Youth participating in a
basketball activity will get to sample Dr. Bombay's snackable sherbet swirled ice cream
flavors - including the newly-launched Strawberry Cream Dream
and Baked Blueberry Muffin. The events at each club will be
followed up this fall by an ice cream science lesson with Dr.
Maya Warren, the ice cream expert
and scientist who crafts Dr. Bombay's indulgently nostalgic flavors. Her
lesson will support the Boys & Girls Clubs' STEAM programming
with a full sensory experience on what creates the taste, smell,
texture, and flavor of ice cream. The goal of this curriculum is to
expand into a broader CPG program that addresses how science, art,
math and technology are used to create our favorite products.
Snoop Dogg's Long Beach roots
are well known - as is his love for the Boys & Girls Club at
King Park in Long Beach, where he
spent a lot of time as a pre-teen.
"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," said Snoop
Dogg. "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 teamed up with Under Armour and Golden
State Warriors' MVP point guard Steph
Curry to renovate the indoor gym, the Damion Scott design
took inspiration from the park where Snoop Dogg and his wife grew
up playing basketball. Currently, The Snoop Youth Basketball League
(which operates out of the club) provides 'NO COST' advanced
basketball training and supports competitive travel ball tournament
access to youth wishing to participate in organized team
sports.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Long
Beach's summer program is packed with full-day adventures
that blend learning and fun seamlessly. Kids dive into exciting
activities like sports, art, music, and gardening, all designed to
keep their minds sharp and their spirits high. To top it off, they
provide field trips that promise new experiences and unforgettable
memories. By embedding educational elements into these enjoyable
activities, the clubs ensure that kids not only avoid summer
learning loss but also have a blast doing it.
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Bombay's
commitment to making things sweeter for kids and their families has
focused on youth sports and continues to expand nationally through
a variety of organizations including the Boys & Girls Clubs and
the Snoop Youth Football League.
Dr. Bombay Ice Cream strives to be an affordable and delicious
option for ice cream lovers everywhere. The pints are available at
major retailers including Walmart, Publix, Kroger, City Market,
Dillons, Ralphs Market, Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions,
