Canada-based Pizza Nova customers proved once again their love for dipping for a good cause, helping the company raise a record-breaking $217,874 for Variety — the Children's Charity of Ontario. according to a press release.
Domenic Primucci, Pizza Nova's president, presented the check to Karen Stintz, Variety's CEO, during a visit to Variety Village on June 4. The funds were raised through the company's "That's Amore Pizza for Kids" campaign, which donates a portion of dipping sauce sales throughout May.
"The best part of this fundraiser is seeing the smiles on people's faces, from our guests who appreciate the opportunity to give, to the children who understand the love that drives it," Primucci said in the press release. "We are grateful to everyone, especially our franchisees, employees, guests and partners, for their unwavering support of this campaign."

"Pizza Nova has been a strong supporter of Variety since 1999," Stintz said in the press release. "This generous donation will enable us to help more children play, develop life skills, and receive the support they need. This partnership has grown so much over the last 25 years, and we are eager to continue to partner with a company that so passionately shares our values."
