Ice cream maker Baskin Robbins is holding a fire sale for the third successive year to raise funds for the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation (CFFF). On Wednesday, April 27 from 5-10 p.m., Baskin Robbins ice cream shops across Canada will host 31 Cent Scoop Night, when they’ll be selling small cups and cones for 31 cents. The money raised will go to the CFFF, a non-profit organization that honours fallen firefighters and monetarily supports their families.
“This initiative gives us all the chance to thank and support families who have sacrificed so much … in the line of duty,” said Capt. Robert Kirkpatrick from Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services. Kirkpatrick is president of the CFFF. “The generous donations received during this event will help us in remembering fallen firefighters every year … and help their children during CFFF’s educational bursaries.”
