A 12-year-old boy in Norwood, a Boston suburb, faced disappointment when town officials ordered the closure of his ice cream stand, which he had set up to raise funds for his brother's hockey team. Despite the setback, the local community rallied in support, raising $20,000 for the team. The stand, which offered vanilla, shaved chocolate, and fluffernutter, was shut down following a directive from the Norwood Board of Health. The community's fundraising efforts highlight the strong support for the boy's initiative and the hockey team.
