Marriott's 90th Anniversary Celebration with Scoops2u


Washington DC, May 26th, 2017 – This week marks the 90th anniversary for Marriott International. Now the largest hotel chain in the world, it is hard to believe that it originated as an A&W Root Beer stand.
In 1927 J. Willard Marriott founded that root beer stand which later grew into the Hot Shoppes Restaurant chain and evolved into today’s Marriott International hotel company.
To commemorate 90 incredible years, Marriott International has partnered with Scoops2u for an unforgettable anniversary celebration.
Scoops2u has custom wrapped an ice cream truck and carts with Marriott’s unique design and has been touring Marriott properties throughout the DC area this week. And the best part…they’re serving up free root beer floats made with premium homemade ice cream and none other than A&W Root Beer!

SCOOPS2U: “Do any of the race proceeds go to charity?”
Max: “A portion of the profits of The Ice Cream Race will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphona in 2006, so I feel that it is my duty to donate money every year to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.”
SCOOPS2U: “What will be different in this year’s race compared to last year?”
Ice Cream Race Foam FunMax: “This year’s race will be a little different because we are adding a lot of new obstacles. Some of the new obstacles include: a cargo net, inflatable obstacle course, inflatable Slip N Slide and more! I am personally most excited about our new inflatable obstacles.”
SCOOPS2U: “What can race participants win?”
Max: “All race participants will receive a free tee shirt and ice cream. Participants can also win prizes at the after party for wildest costume. We will reward a cash prize to the fastest male and female of the first race. The first race of the day is at 8 am and this is our only competitive wave.”
SCOOPS2U: “Will there be other attractions at the race?”
SCOOPS2U at Ice Cream RaceMax: “We will have a variety of vendors, food trucks, a beer garden, two DJ’s, an interactive photo booth, and much more!”
