Feel Good Friday: Brees Dream Foundation Teams Up With So Delicious Dairy Free

By TJ Carter Published July 17, 2015

Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for improving the quality of life for cancer patients and providing care and education for children and families!

OK, that may not be a very catchy jingle, but it is a fun way to describe the partnership between the Brees Dream Foundation and So Delicious Dairy Free. The Brees Dream Foundation is a nonprofit organization run by New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees and his philanthropist wife, Brittany; and So Delicious Dairy Free is an Oregon-based food company that makes all sorts of tasty dairy-free products — including frozen desserts.

To date, the Brees Dream Foundation has given more than $22 million to charities and schools, and they’re about to give a bunch more. So Delicious Dairy Free has pledged 0.75% of their frozen dessert sales during July and August to the foundation, with a minimum uncapped donation of $75,000.

Like millions of other Americans, Drew and Brittany Brees are allergic to dairy, so this partnership makes a great deal of sense. Drew and Brittany Brees also partnered with So Delicious Dairy Free back in 2012 to help folks with food allergies and sensitivities discover healthy, delicious foods.

And So Delicious Dairy Free definitely falls in the “delicious” column. Among their many dessert offerings are their new line of cashew milk frozen dessert, coconut milk frozen desserts, and the world’s only dairy-free, gluten-free cookie dough frozen dessert. Drew, Brittany, and their three boys swear by the stuff. We’re not saying these frozen desserts will help you win the Super Bowl, but they couldn’t hurt your chances.

At The Manual, we’re not shy about our love for animal products — but neither are we hostile to those who go the vegan, naturally sweetened, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO route. Whether you have a dairy allergy or are just looking to mix things up with your summer desserts, So Delicious Dairy Free is a good way to go. Indulging in dessert is rarely associated with charitable acts; this is your big chance!

Six subscription services you can buy dad today and gift tomorrow

For the ultra procrastinator, here are gifts you can get today that you don't have to wait for delivery.

Adult, Male, Man

We all love Dad. But that doesn't mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you to call your dad tomorrow for Father's Day, then panicked because you forgot to get him something, you're not alone. The biggest issue with procrastinating on a gift is that you have to wait for delivery for most things. Getting a gift you can get your hands on right now is a lot harder to do. That is, unless you buy a subscription service. That's right, get him something that feels tailor-made for him without it needing to be done three months ago. Here are six subscription services for any kind of man in your life.

LACMA’s New Geffen Galleries Are Compelling, Impressive – and Odd

A lay person's insight on the new galleries to follow up an expert's

Indoors, Interior Design, Architecture

The new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are among the most important public buildings to open in Los Angeles in decades. Twenty years in the making and costing more than $700 million, the project is meant to be a signature cultural landmark for the city as Los Angeles prepares to host the World Cup and the Olympics. It has been funded and supported by some of the biggest names in Southern California, along with international backers who clearly understand LACMA’s importance as a global museum.

All of which makes the experience of visiting the new building both fascinating and oddly frustrating.
