In past years, you might have noticed an awesome ice house in Market Square for the event. Because of COVID, the annual ice house will not be open to the public. For this year, KDKA-TV will host the event in a studio made entirely of ice on Pittsburgh Today Live! Heather Abraham and David Highfield better bundle up!
“The Cool Down for Warmth has been Dollar Energy Fund’s way of connecting with the community and raising awareness for those in our region who struggle to maintain basic utility services during the winter months,” said Chad Quinn, Dollar Energy Fund’s CEO. “And, since many in our area are struggling to afford the costs associated with keeping their utilities on so their families can be safe and warm in their homes, we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue our outreach efforts on Pittsburgh Today Live. All are welcome to tune into the live broadcast on January 27th to see the Cool Down for Warmth ice structure, learn more about Dollar Energy Fund, and find out how they can help spread the warmth to their neighbors in need.”
