We teamed up with the ISU Creamery to create a special flavor for this year's Out of the Darkness Walk. Griffin's Ripples of Hope is named in honor for Griffin, son of Brian and Janell Meyer.
At the Out of the Darkness Walk, Brian and Janell will share the story of Griffin, whose spirit radiated to everyone he met.
All participants will receive a free scoop of Griffin's Ripples of Hope at the conclusion of the walk. This year's walk is the morning of Saturday, April 25. Register as an individual or as a team: https://afspwalks.donordrive.com/IowaState
