Fire and Ice fundraiser to feature Moonlight Masquerade theme

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Greater Mankato Area United Way is planning its 12th annual Fire and Ice fundraiser for early December, with a Moonlight Masquerade theme.

Mollie Fischer of Greater Mankato Area United Way joined event committee chair Megan Felber and Jason Madson of presenting sponsor Prime Source Funding for an interview with Lisa Kaye on “In the Spotlight.”

Felber said organizers are planning an immersive experience with dark colors, masks and other decorative elements. Masks are encouraged but not required, and they will also be available for purchase at the event.

Supporting area programs

Fischer said Greater Mankato Area United Way supports 75 programs focused on basic needs, health and education in Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Nicollet and Waseca counties.

Madson said Prime Source Funding supports the event because of the range of programs United Way helps in the area.

Tickets and raffle

The event will be held at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center and will include a seated dinner and games. Event tickets are available online, and sponsorship opportunities remain open, including Friends of United Way tables for groups of eight.

Raffle tickets cost $100 and are available at Mankato Motorsports, Scheels and the United Way office. Prizes include a Can-Am, two e-bikes and two Tudor watches. The drawing is scheduled for 10 p.m., and winners do not need to be present.
