Boston Pizza is no stranger to giving back to the community, and for the first time, this year, the Strathmore Boston Pizza is taking it one step further with their involvement in the Boston Pizza Foundation Future Prospects.
For 25 years, the Boston Pizza Foundation has contributed over $20 million to charities focused on children in Canada and around the world. Future Prospects, which was created by the foundation in 2014, shares the same goal. These charities provide children with mentorship, guidance and reaching their full potential.
“This is what Boston Pizzas are famous for, being part of the community,” says Allison Lovely the general manager at the Strathmore Boston Pizza.
“This is the first year that the store is actively getting involved in its Future Prospects.”
Future Prospects supports five children’s charities such as Big Brothers Big Sister, Kids Help Phone, JDRF, Live Different and the Rick Hansen Foundation. As well as their contribution to these charities, the Strathmore Boston Pizza will be giving back to the community in other ways.
The establishment will be having a ’round up the bill’ option for customers with money being donated to the Strathmore Shelter at the end of the summer. They also took part in the Five for Life in March, and in September the $5 gift cards will also have money going back to children’s charities. Lovely also hopes to be able to give back to the schools in the fall, by helping out whenever necessary.
“Strathmore is a wonderful community we have had a lot of support throughout the community for many years,” Lovely said. “So it is time to give something back.”
