This coming Saturday, there are two ways for you to have a “ball” and support hunger relief in our community.

Crispin IceBall

The first is the Crispin IceBall The Midway Stadium. The lot opens at 11 AM with tailgating and live entertainment (courtesy of Cities 97), and the second annual IceBall Game (played on the snow and ice featuring vintage base ball rules) first pitch is at 1:30. Current, former and future St. Paul Saints players will host the Washington County Historical Society vintage base ball club, the St. Croix Base Ball Club. The event is a fundraisier–it’s free, but donations (both food and funds) are encouraged and proceeds will be donated to SHH.

Vintner Ball
During the fall of 2005, a group of wine enthusiasts from the Twin Cities were inspired to develop a unique event: a world-class, charitable wine tasting with 100% of funds raised benefiting the community and a local cause. What followed was the enlistment of wine distributors, connoisseurs, local businesses and finally, a stunning event in the heart of winter. Thus began the Vintner Ball.

On Saturday, the Vintner Ball will host the fifth annual First Growths for Second Harvest, generating warmth in the heart during the chill of winter. This year the bar has been set even higher, with a goal of surpassing last year’s donations for Second Harvest and providing yet another world-class wine tasting experience.

Thanks to everyone who came out in support of the Pound for Pound Challenge to The Biggest Loser Season Premiere Party in Minneapolis! Attendees enjoyed mini-manicures, brow waxes, chair massages, lessons from personal trainers, Wii Fit demos and exciting giveaways such as a Wii gaming system and Wii fit and a $500 spa getaway package.

Best of all, attendees pledged the Pound for Pound Challenge in an effort to “Lose Nationally, Feed Locally.” For every pound pledged, the Pound for Pound Challenge will donate 14 cents to Feeding America–enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.

Check out the photos and videos from the event–and don’t forget to pledge your pounds now at pfpchallenge.com!
