To kick off the campaign, one of Boston's most beloved baseball icons, former Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez, will join Good Humor at Copley Place on Tuesday, June 25 as the first stop on the summer-long "Share the Love" tour. Martinez will help celebrate the launch by handing out free, classic Good Humor® frozen treats to baseball fans and ice cream lovers alike.
"Boston is my home, and also all-time favorite city," says Martinez. "I'm honored to have played for residents with the biggest hearts in the country, and I'm looking forward to helping Good Humor® bring some of America's most beloved frozen treats – and of course summer fun – to the city of Boston."
As part of its Share the Love Campaign, the Good Humor® company is sharing frozen treats across its seven ice cream brands all summer long. The new Good Humor® Truck will serve up free frozen treats at the following locations in Boston – with some unexpected stops along the way – to surprise and delight residents this summer:
- June 25: Copley Place and other surprise locations throughout the day
- Free Friday Flicks (Fridays weekly, beginning in July) at Boston Hatch Shell
- Harborfest Sampling Days on Boston's City Hall Plaza – July 3 & 7
- Fisherman's Feast at Boston's North End – August 15-18
In addition to enjoying a classic Good Humor® bar, visitors to the Good Humor® truck will be invited to capture moments of joy at a special photo booth where they can share animated gifs directly with their social media networks.
"Good Humor® is known for reimagining classic American candies and desserts as delicious frozen treats," said Nick Soukas, brand building director for U.S. Unilever ice cream. "We want to 'Share the Love' with Boston this summer and create meaningful moments of joy throughout the city all season long."
