- Today is National Flip Flop Day, and showing off your toes could get you a cool treat.

Anyone wearing flip flops to any of the cafes between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. will receive a free 24-ounce Jetty Punch smoothie.
Patrons are also encouraged to donate money as well. All those funds will go directly to Camp Sunshine, a summer camp for those with mild to moderate cognitive impairments.
