Break in the storm? Grab a Concrete for Duke Children’s Hospital
All Goodberry’s locations throughout August
The Harper’s Strawberry Delight Concrete, created by Duke Children’s Patient Champion and Ambassador Harper Harrell, will be sold at all nine area Goodberry’s locations. $1 from every sale during August will be donated to Duke Children’s. The fundraiser is part of a yearlong partnership between the custard chain and the hospital. Take your loose change, as all change tossed in the fountains of Goodberry’s courtyards through April 2025 will go to Duke Children’s as well.
