NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AriZona Beverages, the iconic New York-born brand known for its bold flavors and 99¢ cans, just announced the release of a new Chocolate Soda, created in collaboration with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. A portion of proceeds from every can sold will directly support the foundation in providing mortgage-free homes to the families of America's fallen first responders and Gold Star families, as well as aiding wounded veterans.
Established and based in New York, AriZona has always drawn inspiration from the strength, resilience, and community spirit of the city.
Partnering with Tunnel to Towers, an organization honoring New York firefighter Stephen Siller who gave his life on September 11, 2001, represents a powerful way for the brand to give back to both its hometown and the country that has embraced it for decades.
"Tunnel to Towers represents everything we love about this country: courage, sacrifice, and community," said Don Vultaggio, Founder of AriZona Beverages. "America is the greatest country in the world, and we feel a deep responsibility to honor the men and women who protect it. This collaboration is our way of showing gratitude and support for the families of our heroes."
The new Chocolate Egg Cream Soda delivers a rich, indulgent take on a classic. Originally named after the frothy top that looked like cream, AriZona's reimagination features no eggs or cream, instead a swirl of milk adds a smooth, nostalgic taste.
"We're honored to partner with AriZona on this special Chocolate Egg Cream Soda, which pays tribute to a beloved Brooklyn tradition that my brother Stephen would have appreciated. As a member of FDNY Squad 1 in Brooklyn, Stephen knew the heart of this community, and this classic soda represents the same spirit of togetherness that drives our mission. AriZona's commitment to supporting fallen first responder families through this partnership allows us to continue Stephen's legacy of service while honoring the flavors and memories that make New York special." Frank Siller, Chairman & CEO, Tunnel to Towers Foundation
Chocolate Egg Cream Soda is now available at select retailers nationwide and online at DrinkAriZona.com.
