Pizza Nova launches today its 26th annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraising campaign in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario. Since the campaign’s inception, Pizza Nova has raised over $2.7 million for the Variety community. This year's campaign, under the message of “Dip ‘n Give”, reasserts the company’s commitment to bringing even greater awareness and financial assistance to keeping kids active, engaged, and feeling truly included.
Throughout the month of May, Pizza Nova will donate 50 cents from every dip sold at participating locations to Variety, helping children with disabilities gain access to inclusive sports and recreational programming. This year, for the first time, Pizza Nova introduces a pop-up pizza shop at the Variety Village Café. Every Thursday throughout May, visitors can purchase fresh cheese or pepperoni pizza slices and a selection of delicious dips, with proceeds supporting the campaign.
