Mr. Gatti's Pizza has partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for its annual fundraiser, according to a press release.

Throughout March, customers can round up their order total to benefit the children's hospital. Mr. Gatti's will match the total donation amount up to $10,000.

"We are proud to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization that does such incredible work in the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases," Travis Smith, vice president of marketing at Mr. Gatti's Pizza, said in the press release. "Our annual fundraiser is an opportunity for us to rally our community and make a positive impact in the lives of children and families who need it most. We are honored to play a small role in this important cause and look forward to making a difference together with our customers."

Mr. Gatti's has partnered with St. Jude for more than a decade. The brand has a goal of $20,000, and 45 Mr. Gatti's stores are participating.

"St. Jude has a very special place in my heart because they provided support to my family when we needed it the most," said Bryant Gielsen, a Mr Gatti's multi-unit franchise owner in Louisiana. "As a business owner in this community, we make it a priority to support St. Jude and raise as much money as possible for their important work. I am grateful for the generosity of our customers, as without them, we would not be able to make the same level of impact."

Mr. Gatti's operates more than 130 restaurants.
