Marco's Pizza launches annual fundraiser
November 28, 2023
The Marco's Pizza Foundation is launching its fundraising initiative earlier this year, asking customers to "top off" their meals in support of various community organizations and to help fight childhood hunger.
The "Generosity Topping" event includes a national TV spot, according to a press release.
Customers can either top off their purchase by rounding up or contributing $1, $3 or $5.
"With the introduction of the 'Generosity Topping' initiative, we hope to empower our communities to join us in making a positive difference in the lives of children across the country this holiday season and beyond," Stephanie Moseley, president, board of directors for The Marco's Pizza Foundation, and a Marco's multi-unit franchise owner, said in the release. "At Marco's, we believe that everyone should have access to a nutritious meal, especially our children. By partnering with No Kid Hungry, we are taking a stand against childhood hunger, and we invite our customers to join us in this important cause."
"The holiday season is a time for families to honor traditions and gather over a meal, but for the 13 million children affected by childhood hunger, that isn't their reality," Allison Shuffield, managing director of corporate partnerships at Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry Campaign, said in the release. "We're excited about the impact Marco's Pizza customers will have on communities through the 'Generosity Topping' initiative and look forward to this year's campaign with The Marco's Pizza Foundation in the fight to end childhood hunger."
Marco's Pizza operates more than 1,100 stores in 34 states with locations in Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.
