Toronto-based Pizza Nova has donated $61,500 to Villa Charities, an organization that works to enrich lives through services that honor Italian culture and heritage. The funds will go to support the Villa Colombo Toronto long-term care home, according to a press release.

Pizza Nova raised the money through its annual golf tournament fundraiser. The event took place at the Station Creek Golf Club in Gormley, Ontario and has more than 230 guests in attendance, including franchisees, suppliers, partners, family and friends.

"Each year, our annual golf fundraiser allows the Pizza Nova family to come together and support worthy causes as a community," Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, said in the press release. "We are grateful to our partners for their continued generosity and to Villa Charities for the work they do to support the community and honor Italian heritage."

Pizza Nova has raised more than $710,000 for Villa Charities over 26 years.

"I am thrilled that Pizza Nova has selected Villa Charities as the beneficiary of their premier golf event," Marco DeVuono, president and CEO, Villa Charities Inc., said in the press release. "The funds raised through this tournament will help further Villa Charities' mission of enriching lives through experiences and services that honor Italian culture and heritage by supporting key strategic priorities at our Villa Colombo Toronto long-term care home."

"We are so proud that after 60 years, Pizza Nova can still bring the community together to support such important organizations," Sam Primucci, who founded Pizza Nova in 1963, said in the press release. "After completing our 24th annual 'That's Amore Pizza for Kids' fundraiser event, it is so special to come together for our 26th annual charity golf tournament to do even more for our communities."

Pizza Nova has more than 150 stores and concession locations in Southern Ontario.
