From November 8 – 16, Papa John’s Tucson will donate a large one-topping pizza to Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson for every large pizza ordered on papajohns.com using promo code GIVEAZ. A “donation thermometer” will display how many pizzas have been donated during the campaign.
“The work Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson does throughout our region is incredible,” said Clark Mandigo III, owner of several Tucson area Papa John’s locations. “They provide a ‘home away from home’ for many kids and provide excellent programs helping youth build a successful future. BGCTucson inspires us and this is our way of saying thank you. We hope the local community will help us show them some love. Simply place an online order using promo code GIVEAZ and at the same time, you will help give pizza to the amazing staff, volunteers and kids at BGCTucson.”
Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson has six locations — they will utilize the pizzas for various events throughout the year.
“We are thrilled to be selected as a community partner by Papa John’s,” said Debbie Wagner, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson. “We feed kids, staff and volunteers at all six of our locations, year-round. Pizza is a real treat for our Club kids and this level of generosity will alleviate the costs we would otherwise have and enable us to put those funds to use in other programs we offer.”
