Cookie Cart is excited to be the Minnesota Wild's February Charity of the Month. Each month throughout the hockey season the Wild choose a nonprofit to highlight on their website, newsletters, scoreboard announcements and an informational table at a game. The February 7th game against the Vancouver Cunucks has been dedicated to Cookie Cart. Youth employees and program staff will have the opportunity to distribute information before the game, watch a video about Cookie Cart on the massive center ice score board and see some great hockey. A big thank you to the Wild and their corporate sponsor Innovative Office Solutions for giving Cookie Cart this fun community awareness opportunity.
