Baskin-Robbins gears up for 31 Cent Scoop Night

Baskin-Robbins, the Canton-based chain of ice-cream shop, said it will celebrate "31 Cent Scoop Night" on April 29 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

During the event, the chain said it will thank its customers by reducing the price of all 2.5-ounce ice cream scoops to 31 cents.

As part of 31 Cent Scoop Night, Baskin-Robbins said it will make a $100,000 donation to the National Volunteer Fire Council's National Junior Firefighter Program, which aims to educate youths about the life-saving work of emergency service members and help prepare future firefighters to keep communities safe.

Baskin-Robbins is a sister chain of Dunkin' Donuts, which is known for coffee and baked goods.
