Corporate Finance internship in freshmen summer

Hey guys! I am pretty new to WSO and wanted to ask a question. I will be starting college this fall in an ivy-league target school for the major of economics-political science. I want to get into Investment Banking after I graduate. I would like to do a useful internship next summer (freshman summer). I have heard that it is pretty difficult to get an internship in an IB as a freshman. So the thing is, with my current family connections, it is possible to get a summer internship in Coca-Cola (Fortune100) at the Investor Relations department, What do you guys think, would this internship be good for freshmen summer or should I aim for cold-calling PWMs for an internship with them.
