Delaware County - where Pennsylvania began. We've officially partnered with Philly Goat to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's birth. A portion of all proceeds from sales of this shirt goes back to A250PADelco to celebrate the Semiquincentennial and democracy in Delco! 

America250PADelco x Kona Ice of Delco and Southern Philadelphia: A Sweet Piece of History

This year, we teamed up with Kona Ice to create something worth holding onto — a limited-edition color-changing cup to commemorate Delaware County's part in America's 250th celebration. Because if you're going to mark a once-in-a-generation moment, you might as well do it with strawberry, coconut, and blueberry shaved ice in hand.

Kona Ice giveback events are a fun and easy way for schools, teams, and organizations to raise money while bringing everyone together. From field days and game nights to school events and community gatherings, Kona Ice is always a hit with kids, parents, and supporters alike. We're proud to share this resource with teachers across our K-12 toolkit, too — sweet treats that give back? That's the Kona way.

Keep the cup. Keep the memory. 2026 is a year Delco will be talking about for another 250.
