JOIN US FOR THIS YEAR’S SUMMER SLICE-A-THON!
WHAT IS IT?
You (a home pizza-maker/hobbyist) sign up to host a pizza party or pop-up to raise funds for our Pie it Forward project. We’ll use the funds that you raise to support shelters and soup kitchens in your region. Last year, participating home chefs were able to raise $33.5k in total; that’s a lot of dough!
HOW DOES THE FUNDRAISING WORK?
When you register to host a pizza party or pop-up, we’ll email you a QR code to display at the event. This QR code will lead your guests to a crowdfunding page for your pizza party. Your guests can submit a donation in the size of their choice or you can opt to donate a portion of the proceeds that you make at your pop-up using the same QR code.
WHEN IS SUMMER SLICE-A-THON?
You can host a pizza party or pop-up anytime this summer, between July 1 and September 30.
DO I HAVE TO BE IN A PARTICULAR LOCATION TO HOST A PIZZA PARTY?
Nope! You can do #pizza4good anywhere you want. It can happen in a parking lot, at your office, in your backyard, a local park or brewery, or even in your apartment building. We’ll be posting a map of registered pizza parties so you can see all the communities that are participating.
IS THERE A WAY FOR BRICK & MORTAR RESTAURANTS TO GET INVOLVED?
You can invite home pizza-makers in your your area to host a pop-up at your restaurant to benefit Slice Out Hunger. It’s a fantastic way for you to support pizzaioli of all stripes in your community.
ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS TO PARTICIPATING BESIDES SUPPORTING MY COMMUNITY?
YES! PRIZES!!! We’ll be sending prizes to almost everyone who signs up. Details below.
