Last year, the Emeryville-based F’real food company hosted children from Make-A Wish in its local milkshake lab to create distinctive flavors. The best concoctions participated in a nation-wide social media contest to decide, which flavor would be served at locations across the country. We are pleased to announce that our dear Raffi Arabatyan won the contest after a landslide social media vote, with fantastic support for the Bay Area Armenian community. Raffi created a Frosted Cupcake Milkshake, which contains classic vanilla cupcake with creamy vanilla frosting, chocolate pieces, and colorful sprinkles.

For every purchase of Raffi’s creation, $1 will be donated to Make-A-Wish Foundation. Also F’real has begun a social media campaign, by which $5 will be donated to Make-A-Wish for every Twitter and Instagram photo or video post with the hashtag #myfrealwish.

Congratulation to Raffi Arabatyan and the entire Arabatyan family for making St. John Armenian Church so proud!
