Bradford, PA – Cold Kandy, the creation of young entrepreneur and CEO David Hendryx, has added a touch of sweetness to the United Way’s Annual Campaign. David, along with his parents, Jeff and Amy Hendryx, visited the United Way on Tuesday evening, bringing not only mouthwatering treats but also a generous donation of $100 towards the community-driven initiative.

This unexpected act of kindness was revealed during David’s visit, where he and his parents shared the story of Cold Kandy’s inception, a journey that began just a month ago. David’s idea to create freeze-dried candy emerged after his first experience trying the candy, and since then, the Hendryx family has dedicated their evenings to experimenting with innovative and fun prototypes.

What sets Cold Kandy apart is not just its delicious offerings but the valuable lessons it instills in its young CEO. David, in his commitment to his craft, has taken a self-proclaimed “loan” for his freeze-drying machine and is diligently working to pay it back. Additionally, David has chosen to share his earnings by making charitable donations to the local community, demonstrating a commendable sense of social responsibility that goes beyond business.

“David, your efforts certainly haven’t gone unnoticed. Your dedication is admirable, and there’s no doubt that you’re on a path to success,” conveyed UWBA Executive Director, Sarah Lonzi, in recognizing the remarkable qualities cultivated by David’s parents, Jeff and Amy, in nurturing an environment that encourages both creativity and compassion to flourish.

The Hendryx family’s journey showcases the positive impact that young entrepreneurs can have on their communities when combining business with philanthropy. United Way extends sincere gratitude to Cold Kandy for brightening our day and contributing to the success of the Annual Campaign. Donations to the UWBA Campaign are still being accepted until December 31^st.
