Kelly's Kone Konnection of Hamden, Conn. Names Flavors for MDA

Hamden, Conn., July 16, 2010 - Kelly Stone of Kelly's Kone Konnection, located at 2583 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, Conn., has generously named two ice cream flavors for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to help promote the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. This is the third consecutive year that Kelly’s Kone Konnection has named a flavor for MDA.

Members of the local community can now enjoy the special edition flavors “S’more Hope for Jerry’s Kids” and “Jerry’s Kids Muscle Mint” during the months of July and August at Kelly’s Kone Konnection.

Kelly’s Kone Konnection’s support in helping us promote the Telethon will definitely increase our viewership in the Hamden area, which will in turn help local families and individuals affected by neuromuscular disease.

The 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon will be broadcast during Labor Day Weekend (September 5 and 6, 2010) from Mohegan Sun Casino on Fox61 WTIC. Contributions to the Telethon will help fund diagnostic and follow-up care for people with muscular dystrophy, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs and leg braces, physical, occupational and respiratory therapy consultations, assistance with the purchase of communication devices, medical and scientific conferences and much more. Other services include support groups and MDA’s Annual Summer Camp for children with neuromuscular disease.

MDA is a voluntary health agency dedicated to helping more than one million Americans affected by neuromuscular disorders through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far reaching professional and public health education.
