Summer is truly made of moments like no other and with the help of chef Alex Guarnaschelli, the Haagen-Dazs brand will pay tribute to the very best summer moments by creating a free e-Book that promises to be the next great summer read.
Starting today, the Haagen-Dazs brand is asking fans across the country to share their most cherished summer moments on Twitter and Instagram using #HDmoment to help create the narrative for the story.
Guarnaschelli, along with a series of guest authors and contributors, will curate the tweets, posts and photos, transforming them into a beautiful ode to summer. But the fan submissions won't just be used for inspiration--many of them will be selected and published in the final novel as a tribute to the fifty years Haagen-Dazs ice cream has been inspiring moments made like no other.
"This book celebrates summertime and all of the delicious moments that come with it," said Guarnaschelli. "I've been a life-long fan of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and believe in savoring the moments--no matter how small or simple--that make life richer. When they asked me to contribute to this book, it felt like a no-brainer."
To help guarantee another 50 summers full of savory moments, the Haagen-Dazs brand is donating $25,000 to honey bee research at the University of California Davis, plus an additional $5 for every moment submitted by fans throughout the summer up to $50,000 - bringing the total donation to up to $75,000. Honey bee colonies - which are responsible for one third of the world's food supply -- are dying at an alarming rate, posing a serious risk to our natural food supply, including many of the ingredients that define Haagen-Dazs pure ice cream.
"When summer comes to a close and we're all reflecting on how time slipped away from us so quickly, we're excited to be able to share a beautiful keepsake that helps us remember 50 years of summer moments made like no other," said Cady Behles, Haagen-Dazs brand manager. "And, of course, we couldn't do that without the help of those who know and love our brand most, so we're really looking forward to collaborating with our fans on this beautiful story."
The final book will be available for free download in early fall 2012.
