Popular Heart-Shaped Pizza Campaign is Back at Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar

Dallas-Based Casual Dining Franchise’s Annual Heartfelt Fundraiser
Aimed at Fighting Childhood Hunger

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In an effort to provide 300,000 meals for hungry and malnourished kids
across the country, Boston’s
Restaurant & Sports Bar
(Boston’s) will launch its annual
Boston’s Cares fundraising campaign on January 23. During the campaign,
which runs through February 14, all Boston’s locations will collect
proceeds from the sale of Gourmet Pizzas, as well as collect guest
donations for the Boston’s Pizza Foundation in support of its national
charity partner, No Kid Hungry®.

The annual fundraiser kicks off the Boston’s Pizza Foundation’s efforts
to end childhood hunger in America. During the three-week campaign,
Boston’s hopes to have raised more than $30,000. For every $1 raised, No
Kid Hungry is able to connect a child in need with 10 meals, translating
to Boston’s ambitious 300,000 meals goal. The Boston’s Cares campaign is
just the start of the giving that the company does throughout the year.
Other initiatives include an annual Golf Tournament among other
year-round fundraising events, like the Round Up program, which gives
guests the opportunity to round up their checks to the nearest dollar
and donate in support of local and national causes. Since its inception
in 2003, the Boston’s Pizza Foundation has raised more than $1,700,000
in support of charities across the United States.

“Giving back to those in need is just part of our DNA at Boston’s and
our partnership with No Kid Hungry® has made it possible to
really make an impact in people’s lives,” said Eric Taylor, President of
Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar. “Throughout the year we aim to make a
real difference and the Boston’s Cares campaign is just the start. We
set a goal for this campaign to raise enough to provide 300,000 meals
for hungry kids. We are really hoping we can band together with our
communities and give back to our neighbors and those in need.”

During the 2017 Boston’s Cares campaign, all 28 Boston’s locations
across the country will offer a variety of opportunities for guests to
donate:

  • $0.50 from every pizza will be donated to No Kid Hungry® and
    the Boston’s corporate team will match the money raised with a
    donation of their own
  • February 10 to 14: Heart-Shaped Pizzas will be available during the
    week of Valentine’s Day, also contributing to donations from pizza
    sales
  • Throughout the entire campaign, guests can decorate and display Paper
    Hearts in the restaurants, available for a minimum donation of $1

“At No Kid Hungry we believe that every meal has a story, and the
support that the Boston’s Pizza Foundation and all Boston’s restaurants
continue to provide tells a story of immense compassion,” said Diana
Hovey, Senior Director of Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. “We are proud to
have a partner like Boston’s working to make a lasting impact on the
lives of America’s children, one meal at a time.”

Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar’s U.S. operations are based in Dallas.
The company currently has 28 locations operating in 22 states and the
company’s sister brand, Boston Pizza which is celebrating more than 50
years of service, has more than 390 locations throughout Canada and is
considered the No. 1 casual dining brand in the country.
