February 8, 2006

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Domino's Pizza raised more than $1.2 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through its participation in the 2005 Thanks and Giving campaign. According to a news release, this donation marks the largest single charitable contribution in the history of Domino's Pizza.

"As a system, we were able to raise public awareness and much-needed dollars to support the lifesaving work at St. Jude," said David Brandon, chairman and chief executive of Domino's.

During this year's Thanks and Giving campaign, which ran from Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, participating Domino's Pizza stores asked customers to add a dollar to their orders to benefit the kids of St. Jude. Domino's goal was to raise $1 million, which included corporate matching commitments in addition to the money raised at the stores.
