A 12-year-old kid in Massachusetts named Danny Doherty set up a homemade ice cream stand outside his house to raise money for his brother’s special needs hockey team.
But it got shut down after someone in his neighborhood complained to the health department. You’re not allowed to sell homemade ice cream in Massachusetts, and they snitched on him.
He ended up getting around the red tape by offering the ice cream for free and asking people to donate, which netted him about 60 bucks. But he stands to make a lot more than that now.
The owners of a restaurant called Longboards heard about it, and they’re donating 25% of the proceeds from their signature dessert to help his cause. They also put out a donation jar for him.
