One way to celebrate Arizona Gives Day is with puppies and ice cream.
HUB Ice Cream Parlor is teaming up with Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption to promote their work with greyhounds from noon – 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6.
To show its appreciation, the ice cream shop is giving 20 percent of its sales for the day to support the cause of caring for greyhounds, fostering them, and re-homing the pooches.
HUB Ice Cream will have its familiar assortment of ice cream treats for humans and then some house-made Pupsicles for your furry companion. For the day, dogs will be allowed into the parlor — on the patio, too — and they’re invited to meet Millie, the “Star of the Parlor.” Millie found her forever home with HUB Ice Cream’s general manager, Kristel.
Arizona Gives Day has helped raise more than $23 million for Arizona’s nonprofit sector. While giving is available online all year, the online giving campaign takes place in early April each year. The program is supported by our presenting sponsor FirstBank, along with a variety of other sponsor organizations.
HUB Ice Cream Parlor is located at 245 E. Congress St. For more information, visit thehubicecream.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
