TORONTO, ON –(COMMUNITYWIRE)– 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.

“We could not be happier to support Variety, one of the most inspiring community-based organizations I’ve ever seen,” said Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “Everyone deserves to feel welcome, and that’s why Variety’s work in helping children have access to inclusive sports, activities, and skill development is so important. Proceeds from every dip purchased this May will open new doors of opportunity for countless children.”

Customers can support the campaign by ordering their favourite dips, including Creamy Garlic Parmesan, Jalapeno Ranch, Dill & Chive, Blue Cheese, and more. With the rallying cry “I dip, you dip, let’s all dip for Variety!”, Pizza Nova encourages everyone to get involved and help spread the love, one delicious dip at a time.

“We are so grateful for Pizza Nova’s ongoing commitment to Variety Ontario,” said Charlie Johnstone, President & Chief Executive Officer of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario & Variety Village “Through their continued generosity and the incredible support of their customers, we ‘re able to create inclusive spaces where children can build confidence, break down barriers, and discover their abilities. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference, one dip and one child at a time.”
