An online fundraiser has been created to assist Justin Cline, the founder of White Center’s Full Tilt Ice Cream who suffered a massive heart attack.
As we previously reported, Cline suffered a heart attack on Feb. 5, 2024, and has been in critical condition ever since.
Full Tilt – located at 9629 16th Ave SW (map below) – was founded in 2008 by Ann Magyar and Cline in White Center, with the idea to open a shop “where families could hang out, artists could display their art, and everyone could eat great ice cream.”
Since then, the business has been a destination for all natural ice cream and frozen desserts, live music, beer, vintage arcade and pinball machines, an eclectic mix of sodas and much more.
Here’s more info from fundraiser organizer Ashley Kestler:
“On Feb. 5th our wonderful friend, involved community member and local business owner, Justin, woke his wife up in the middle of the night and told her to call 911. He was having a massive heart attack. He’s been in the ICU since, and recovery has been slow. Justin and Ann give so much to our community, and as their friend, I can say they bring so much to the lives they touch. Let’s return some of the love they’ve shown us!
“If you don’t know Justin, Ann and their two kiddos well or if you’ve never been to Full Tilt know that they are the kind of family that consistently donates their time, and heart to to the community. Recent examples of this were Full Tilt’s Pints for Palestine wherein not only did FT donate profits for their Arabic Coffee ice cream pints, but donated entire days profits to the Palestinian Children’s Fund. They’ve supported local families going through tragedy, and have fiercely showed their love for the business family in White Center. I met Ann over ten years ago when she and Justin volunteered FT to be the host of a diaper and formula drive when supplemental assistance was dramatically cut, and it was clear to me then, that this is how they roll. Giving is 1st nature to this family, and yet I know it can still be hard to ask. So I put this here, more of a reminder to Ann and Justin – that people want to help as a way of reflecting back to you, the kindness and goodness you’ve shared with them. Let us take joy in supporting you during this time.”
Organizers have set the goal to $10,000 (with $6,840 raised as of Feb. 17, 2024), but said that numbers are still being assessed to understand the financial outcome of this major health event on both family and business finances.
“It is likely this number will rise.”
