Kona Ice has participated in major events in the state and, since hitting the roads, has consistently been rated among the top frozen desserts in the area. Josh and Annya Lowe wanted a business that people would enjoy frequenting, but more importantly, a business that would allow them to give back to the community. Since 2014 Kona Ice has donated over $43,000 to local schools, youth sports, and not-for-profit organizations. As an educator, Annya is well acquainted with the financial limitations in our schools. As a former BYU football player, having grown up in youth youth sports leagues, Josh understands how expensive it is to participate in and run those programs. You may have seen their mobile units at festivals, schools, youth sports venues, BYU & UVU events, and at functions of some of the biggest corporate entities in the state. However, where they make the biggest difference is often in the unseen places like homeless shelters, family crisis centers, Title I schools, or hospitals while raising funds for children battling cancer.
