Hungry Howie’s, known for its flavored crusts, has launched its 16th year of Love, Hope & Pizza, a campaign that raises funds and awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
So far the company says it has raised more than $5 million for the NBCF since the program launched in 2009.
For 2024, the company is unveiling a new addition to its Secret Menu: the limited-time large Pink Pizza. It features fresh mozzarella and edible pink glitter, “symbolizing hope and solidarity,” according to a press release. The pizza can be ordered with the customer’s choice of flavored crust. Available now through October 27, 50% of the Pink Pizza’s sales will be donated directly to NBCF.
Additionally, Hungry Howie’s will once again serve its pizzas in distinctive pink pizza boxes, further raising awareness about breast cancer. A portion of proceeds from all items sold in these special pink boxes through October 31 will benefit NBCF’s initiatives. Customers can also contribute by rounding up their bill or making donations of $1, $5, or $10 during checkout.“
Women affected by breast cancer are our mothers, daughters, sisters, co-workers and customers,” said Tom Kazbour, COO for Hungry Howie’s of Florida. “At Hungry Howie’s, we are very proud of the Love, Hope & Pizza campaign in raising funds for breast cancer awareness. It’s an honor to contribute to such a vital cause, and we’re grateful for our customers’ support in helping to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.”
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, with approximately 264,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the U.S. each year. One in every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, while there are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors currently in the U.S., according to the NBCF.
