Enjoy a Scoop of Izzy's Ice Cream and Support the River!

Friends of the Mississippi River is proud to be a part of Izzy's Ice Cream's '13 Days of Giving.' Starting February 1st, Izzys Ice Cream will begin its 2nd annual campaign of giving back. Both Izzys locations, 2034 Marshall Ave. in St. Paul and 1100 2nd St. S. in Minneapolis, will donate $2 from every single scoop cone or cup of ice cream towards a different nonprofit each day for thirteen days. FMR will be the recipient of Izzy's generosity on Feb 11th!

Additionally, owners Jeff and Lara have rented the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis (3800 42nd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55406) on Thursday, February 12th from 7:00-9:00pm and will be hosting a movie and ice cream night with this years movie pick of Antarctica: A Year on Ice. With a $10.00 ticket ($13.00 at the door), movie goers will receive a free pint after the movie, are able to participate in a silent auction and leave knowing that 100% of the proceeds are being distributed amongst all of the participating nonprofits and organizations, including FMR. The auction opens at 7:00pm and the film starts at 7:30pm.

New this year as well is a Longest Line contest. Each day, there will be a contest to see which organization can get the most customers to the shop between 7:30-8:00pm to buy single cones or cups. The winning nonprofit will receive a $500.00 donation to its organization. Come bundled up and with lots of friends to help raise money for Friend of the Mississippi River!

Thank you for your support of FMR and the many other worthy nonprofits participating in this event.
