DAVENPORT, IOWA (October 9, 2023) — In honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10, Cookies and Dreams, is delighted to announce a meaningful partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Together, they aim to raise awareness and support for mental health by unveiling a limited-edition "Hulk Smash" cookie.

Mental health is an essential part of overall well-being, and World Mental Health Day provides a perfect opportunity to address this critical issue. Cookies and Dreams is proud to stand alongside NAMI in their mission to smash the stigma surrounding mental health.

The "Hulk Smash" cookie is a symbol of strength and resilience. Those who navigate the challenges of mental illness exemplify extraordinary strength daily. This unique creation features a green velvet cookie, generously packed with white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. It's filled with creamy Nutella and baked-to-ooey-gooey perfection, delivering a taste experience as powerful as the cause it represents.

Details of the Partnership:

● Availability: The "Hulk Smash" cookie will be available in Cookies and Dreams stores and online from October 10 to October 14, 20XX.

● Charitable Impact: For every "Hulk Smash" cookie sold during this period, Cookies and Dreams will donate 20% of the sale proceeds to NAMI to support their critical work in advocating for individuals and families affected by mental illness.

"At Cookies and Dreams, we believe in the power of community and coming together for important causes," said Stephanie Sellers, Founder and Co-Owner of Cookies and Dreams. "Mental health is a topic that deserves our attention and support. We chose the 'Hulk Smash' cookie because it symbolizes the incredible strength and resilience of those facing mental-health challenges. We're honored to partner with NAMI and contribute to their efforts."

NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental-health organization, working tirelessly to raise awareness, provide support, and advocate for those affected by mental illness. Their dedication aligns perfectly with Cookies and Dreams' commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.

This partnership is a reflection of Cookies and Dreams' dedication to both delightful creations and meaningful causes. By indulging in the "Hulk Smash" cookie, customers not only treat themselves to a delicious delight but also join the movement to support mental health and break down barriers.

Cookies and Dreams invites the community to join them in smashing the stigma surrounding mental health. Let's make this World Mental Health Day a memorable one by coming together to raise awareness, offer support, and enjoy some incredible cookies.
