“The foundation of our Fire and Ice event is community based. Thousands of participants come over a period of three days, with the support of local businesses. The participation of the patrons and the sponsors generate all the funds, so that we can give back to the community,” Hart said. “This is the second year that we have supported the Schuyler Health Foundation, and I know what an important entity the hospital and the foundation are to this community by delivering on its mission in The Southern Tier.”
Hart Hotels began with the opening of its first hotel in Portland, Maine in 2005. The company started its Fire and Ice (Ice Bar) event in Portland, and it eventually it became a tradition across multiple Hart Hotel locations.
