ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza
company in the world based on global retail sales, begins
the annual St. Jude Thanks and
Giving® fundraising
campaign to benefit St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital®. The campaign, which will run for
eleven weeks through Jan. 3, 2021, is
the 17th annual Thanks and Giving campaign at Domino's.
To help the kids of St. Jude, customers can add a donation to
their orders – on the phone, in stores or online. In addition to
adding a whole dollar donation, customers can choose to round up
their order total to donate the change to St. Jude.
"Franchise and corporate team members in stores across the
country are looking forward to dedicating the rest of the year to
raising funds for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital," said Ritch Allison,
Domino's CEO. "We are thrilled to join forces with our customers to
support this incredible organization in the fight against childhood
cancer."
In September, Domino's announced its commitment to raise
$100 million in ten years for St.
Jude. In honor of the historic pledge, St. Jude will name its
newest housing facility The Domino's Village. The Domino's Village
will be a home away from home for patient families, offering a
peaceful respite with living, dining and play spaces for patient
family residents to enjoy.
St. Jude treats children with cancer, blood disorders and other
life-threatening diseases across the U.S. and around the world.
Discoveries made at St. Jude are shared freely so every child
saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can
use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the
world. In addition to housing and food, St. Jude offers an on-site
school and numerous other services for patients and their families.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel,
housing or food, because they believe all a parent should have to
worry about is helping their child live.
