Chase Anderson had an amazing idea at just six years old - he wanted to start his own 'water ice' business. Now, at 8 years old, he is the youngest CEO and owner of Da Cooler Boyz in Philadelphia.
When asked about his business, Anderson said: "It makes me feel so good to give people water ice. I love it. It's kind of my thing." He and his family set up shop and serve water ice to local kids at schools, summer camps, parades, food drives, and other events. They have already had 800 bookings this year alone.
Anderson's mother is proud of her son's vision. She said: "It kept him up at night, all he talked about. So after playing around with mixes and flavors, the next thing I know he's setting up and selling water ice outside. I support him in everything he does."
The Anderson family is committed to giving back to the community. Ahead of the 2023-24 academic school year, Da Cooler Boyz will host a back-to-school drive to give away free school supplies to Philadelphia youth. They will also have tutors, coaches, and daycares on-site to help get children enrolled for the year.
The company has asked for donations and sponsors on Instagram to help reach their goal of giving away 800 book bags to children throughout the city. They are also giving away uniform vouchers to take the burden off of some parents and guardians.
Philadelphia residents can support their efforts by sending a request for booking Da Cooler Boyz through their Instagram. They can also stay up to date with ways to support the Anderson family's many efforts to give back to local organizations and children.
