May 18, 2023 – Two beloved and iconic Canadian brands are teaming up in a delicious partnership this summer for the chance for one lucky Canadian to win big for their home and community. Both companies hope to inspire Canadians to get creative and share special family moments making the ultimate ice cream sandwich or another interesting summer dessert.
Canada’s favourite children’s cookie, Bear Paws (made by Dare Foods Ltd.) and the award-winning Chapman’s are inviting Canadians to participate in a nationwide contest. The contest prize includes a summer-long supply of cookies and ice cream, $1000 grocery gift card and $2000 donation to a local charity (food bank or shelter) of the winner’s choice. The contest will run through the months of May and June and can be joined on www.madetoshare.ca. Participants are invited to share their creations on social media with the hashtag #MadeToShareCanada. MadetoShare.ca website will also offer creative recipes using both brands.
“Ice cream and cookies are a natural fit, but when you add creativity and imagination to the experience, it brings the enjoyment to another dimension! We can’t wait to see all the wonderful creations inspired by this program and look forward to sharing moments of joy among those in the winner’s home community,” says Chapman’s CEO, Ashley Chapman.
Not only does Bear Paws and Chapman’s Made to Share contest taste good, but it also feels good too. Bear Paws is a snack that both parents and kids agree on. Parents love the quality ingredients and natural flavours and colours, kids love the taste! Chapman’s nut free Markdale Creamery ice cream is ranked as the most trusted ice cream brand for parents, and those with allergies. Chewy cookies, and decadent ice cream…it’s a perfect fit!
“We are happy to bring these two well-recognized Canadian brands together for such a great partnership. This contest not only rewards our fans but offers an opportunity to support a charity of the winners’ choice. We also look forward to seeing participants’ own creations using #MadeToShareCanada.” says Deborah Attwood, Director of Marketing at Dare Foods Ltd. “With Dare Foods and Chapman’s aligned core values, we’re excited to see the impact we can make.”
