ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in
pizza delivery, is ready in stores and online to raise funds
for its 12th year on behalf of St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital® during the annual St. Jude Thanks
and Giving® campaign.
Beginning today and running through Jan.
3, 2016, Domino's will give consumers numerous channels to
donate to help the kids of St. Jude, including through their
orders, either online, over the phone or in the stores. Many
digital customers will see pop-ups that include the ability to add
a dollar or more contribution, to round up to the nearest dollar to
donate, as well as limited time opportunities to earn loyalty
points or discount coupons for making donations.
Consumers can also help the kids of St. Jude by purchasing the
St. Jude Meal Deal – a bundle that includes two medium one-topping
pizzas, an order of Marbled Cookie Brownie, a two-liter of
Coca-Cola® and a $1
donation to St. Jude – for $19.99.
"Domino's is committed to helping St. Jude," said Patrick Doyle, Domino's president and CEO.
"We've been a part of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving
campaign for 12 years because St. Jude makes such a huge difference
in the lives of children with cancer and their families. We hope
this holiday season is no different, and that Domino's customers
continue to give and help the kids of St. Jude. Every donation
helps."
Domino's has committed to raise $35
million over the next eight years – having already raised
over $25 million for St. Jude since
becoming a national partner in 2004. The commitment helped to fund
the recently opened Domino's Event Center at St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital, a flexible event space on the hospital campus
that can be used for patient and family activities, fundraising and
entertainment.
This year, Domino's is proud to match dollar-for-dollar all
customer contributions up to a total of $250,000 – making each dollar raised from
customers even more impactful.
"I am so grateful for Domino's dedication to helping the
children and families of St. Jude," said Marlo Thomas, national outreach director for St.
Jude Children's Research Hospital. "During the holiday shopping
season, Domino's participation in the St. Jude Thanks and
Giving campaign makes it easy for its customers to help our
doctors and scientists continue the research and treatment that
leads to cures and gives these children the chance to enjoy many
more holidays for years to come."
Created by Marlo, Terre and Tony
Thomas – children of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas – the St. Jude Thanks and Giving
campaign asks people to "Give thanks for the healthy kids in your
life, and give to those who are not" in order to help St. Jude
continue its mission of finding cures and saving children.
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and
defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall
childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80
percent since it opened more than 50 years ago, and they won't stop
until no child dies from cancer.
