Pizza Hut fundraiser raises $40K for tornado relief

May 17, 2011

Pizza Hut has raised $40,416 to help assist victims of the communities impacted by the April Alabama tornadoes. Last week, every Pizza Hut restaurant in Alabama participated in the fundraiser – donating 15 percent of May 12 sales to benefit United Way tornado relief efforts.

"We are incredibly moved by the community's support of our fundraising event and are pleased that their generosity will allow Pizza Hut to donate $40,000 to our neighbors affected by the storms," said Tom White, south territory vice president of NPC International Inc., Pizza Hut franchisee.

The money raised from Pizza Hut's fundraising efforts will help the United Way assist the growing number of people in Alabama who need help as a result of the tornadoes.
