Cookies for a cause 🍪

Fair

Have you ever wondered where the money from all those Fair cookies goes? A substantial amount are consumed by our team – so we were happy to discover the answer.

All proceeds go toward the Ride of Your Life scholarship fund, which annually awards 50 S.C. high school students $6,000 to attend a college, university or technical college. The scholarships are given to students who have at least a 3.0 GPA.

In the Moore Building at the S.C. State Fair, gooey chocolate chip cookies are sold 2-for-$1, with a glass of milk for 50 cents. The long line is totally worth the wait.
