Two Signature Soft Serves, Dream On and Sweet Emotion, Highlight the Collaboration
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Music fans and foodies rejoice: Steven Tyler and Erewhon are thrilled to announce the extension of the soft serve collaboration to support Janie’s Fund, Steven’s philanthropic initiative that brings hope to girls who have endured abuse and neglect.
Tyler’s two signature Soft Serves Sundaes, Dream On and Sweet Emotion, became available at all Erewhon locations on Jan. 29 and will now continue through March 31. These personally crafted creations not only pay homage to Tyler’s iconic Aerosmith hits but also aim to inspire hope and raise awareness for the vital work Janie’s Fund in partnership with Youth Villages, and their LifeSet program is doing to support vulnerable girls across the country.
“Janie’s Fund is all about giving a voice back to these young women who have endured so much,” said Steven Tyler. “I am honored to work with Erewhon to raise awareness, as well as funds, to ensure these girls have the support they need to create the lives they deserve. It’s incredible to see Janie’s Fund joining unbelievable causes championed by amazing, talented artists, athletes, and fellow Erewhon collaborators like Kasey Musgraves, Lisa, Sabrina Carpente,r and Jack Flaherty from the LA Dodgers for the World Series.”
This partnership, facilitated by THE SHARPE ALLIANCE, brings together the shared commitment of both organizations to empower communities, especially after the heartbreaking Los Angeles wildfires. A portion of proceeds from every purchase of the Dream On and Sweet Emotion Soft Serve Sundaes will directly benefit Janie’s Fund, and will also be shared with the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation to support the Los Angeles communities that have been affected.
“More than150 firefighters attended our sixth annual “Jam for Janie” on Feb. 2 and we were honored to provide a bit of rest and relief for those brave souls, who live on the frontlines protecting all of us,” said Tyler. “The gala, which featured powerhouse performances by Lainey Wilson, Linda Perry and Joan Jett, among others, raised much needed funds and spotlighted the never-ending work we do through Janie’s Fund to provide after care to girls and young women overcoming trauma on their path to a healthier life.”

About Janie’s Fund
Janie’s Fund is a philanthropic initiative created by Steven Tyler in partnership with Youth Villages to bring hope and healing to girls who have suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect. Steven first gave voice to this cause with his hit “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and his establishment of the fund ensures that these vulnerable girls will have an enduring voice for years to come. Janie’s Fund has two important goals: to bring much-needed awareness to the issue of abuse and neglect of children and to generate financial support to ensure that girls receive the most effective support available to help them overcome the trauma and pain of abuse. One hundred percent of all donations to Janie’s Fund are used to support proven programs at Youth Villages that have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the trauma of sexual abuse in children and to expand these services to help even more girls. These services incorporate the latest research on developing brains and neuropsychology. www.janiesfund.org
