September 24, 2015

Hungry Howie’s Pizza announced its continued support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its seventh annual "Love, Hope & Pizza" campaign. Since 2009, Hungry Howie’s has helped to spread awareness and raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, according to a company press release.

Throughout the month of October, Hungry Howie’s will serve pizza in pink boxes embellished with the National Breast Cancer Foundation logo. For every pizza sold, Hungry Howie’s will donate a portion of the proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Along with the pizzas, a portion of each chocolate Howie Brownie sale, decorated with a pink raspberry sauce, will go to the Foundation.

"We are thrilled to embark on our seventh year of raising support and funds for the immensely important cause of breast cancer awareness," Hungry Howie’s Executive Vice President of Marketing Rob Elliott said. "Each year our team looks forward to putting all the effort and work we can in to the Love, Hope & Pizza campaign, because we truly believe in what we are doing — striving to save lives and put an end to breast cancer for good. This campaign has become integral to the Hungry Howie’s brand. We are proud to have raised over $1.5 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation thus far and are overjoyed to continue to serve up pizza with the purpose of changing lives and spreading hope."

During October, Hungry Howie’s customers will share personal stories of their experiences with breast cancer, as well as their stories of love, hope and inspiration via Facebook with Hungry Howie’s followers, the release stated. Fans are encouraged to share these stories of strength through Facebook. Those who "share" a story on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the third week of October will receive a coupon code for a free, small cheese pizza.

Additionally, throughout October, any customer who donates $10 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation using a link on www.hungryhowies.com will be sent a certificate for a free, large, one-topping pizza (valid at participating stores, excludes Alabama and Florida). Pink bracelets and Love, Hope & Pizza T-shirts are also available for purchase, with all proceeds donated to the Foundation.

"Hungry Howie’s Pizza has had such an inspiring effect on breast cancer awareness across the country," said Janelle Hail, Founder and CEO of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. "Their social media campaign has touched the hearts of breast cancer fighters and survivors and continues to empower those who are currently or have been affected by breast cancer each day. Thanks to Hungry Howie’s Pizza’s outstanding fundraising, tens of thousands of women in the United States have been able to access free early detection services, saving innumerable precious lives. We can’t wait to see what Love, Hope & Pizza can do this year!"
