Freeziac offers 10 flavors of live culture frozen yogurt, including two "tart" varieties, and about 50 toppings. For the grand opening, the company is partnering with . On Thursday only, proceeds on each 16 oz. cup of frozen yogurt will go to the agency. The charity event runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
