Tiff's Treats is opening its first store in Las Colinas, and is kicking off with a celebration of one special little boy who has a wish to go to Disney World. By partnering with a Wish with Wings, Tiff's Treats and its guests will help make this Fort Worth boy's dream come true during a special grand opening fundraiser and flash sale event.

Tiff’s Treats will hold a grand opening fundraiser at its newest location in DFW at 114 E. John Carpenter Freeway, Suite 110, Irving, 75062 (intersection of 114 and O'Connor), on Saturday, April 26, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event will raise funds for A Wish with Wings, which grants wishes to special little Texans with uncertain futures due to medical conditions. These funds will grant the wish of nine-year-old Viggo from Fort Worth, who loves Legos, Minecraft and the Beatles, and whose wish is to travel to Disney World this summer with his family, where he can focus on being a kid, instead of on the treatments he has had to endure for Stage 4B Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

On Saturday, April 26, guests can celebrate the store’s opening and help raise funds for Viggo's wish by purchasing up to six one-dozen boxes filled with one of Tiff’s Treats most irresistible flavors: chocolate chip, snickerdoodle or oatmeal raisin, for just $4 a box.  Proceeds up to $5,000 will be donated to A Wish with Wings. Sales at this event are cash only. Viggo and his family will be there to share in the fun. It's a flash grand opening event — and it's all for a great cause!

Tiff’s Treats’ warm cookie concept normally requires a 30-minute notice for pick-up orders or one hour for delivery — however, for the grand opening fundraiser, no advance order is required, and customers can simply walk in to the new store and purchase hot cookies from 9 a.m. to noon.  This deal is valid only at the new Las Colinas Tiff's Treats location. (Is six dozen just not enough to satisfy your cookie craving?  No worries: you can jump back in line to purchase another six dozen!) But you have to be in line by noon to get your cookie on!

As the delicious aroma of fresh-from-the-oven cookies and brownies fills the air at the new store, guests can enjoy festivities and chances to win prizes. Get there early: the first 10 people in line at the grand opening April 26 at 9 a.m. will win a $100 Tiff’s Treats gift card, while the next 10 will receive a $50 gift card, the next 10 will receive a $25 gift card and the next 10 will win a $10 gift card. Guests who purchase a box of cookies at the grand opening can also enter in a drawing to win free Tiff’s Treats cookies for a year! Anyone who brings a new, unwrapped toy to the event to be donated to a Wish with Wings will also receive a $5 Tiff's Treats gift card.

The mission of a Wish with Wings is to grant magical wishes to little Texans with life-threatening conditions. First chartered in 1982, this Texas-based non-profit has granted more than 1,200 wishes to children all over the Lone Star State with uncertain futures due to medical conditions.

“Being a part of the North Texas community is very important to us,” said Leon Chen, co-founder of Tiff’s Treats. “Tiffany and I grew up here. We are very grateful for the health of our own family and our family of employees here at Tiff’s, so it’s our pleasure to give back to those who are struggling. We know that our cookies – and the generosity of our DFW community – can help warm their hearts. It’s our honor to be involved with a Wish with Wings.

Tiff’s Treats in Las Colinas opens for regular business on Sunday, April 27. The new Las Colinas location can be reached at 972-889-7700 or online at www.cookiedelivery.com.
