Walnut Creek, CA, February 8, 2011: Straw Hat Pizza, the original California Pizza since 1959, shared their love today as they donated nearly half a million (450,000) Valentine’s Day cards, for the fourth year in a row, to elementary school teachers to give students and offers a complimentary heart-shaped personal pizza from the popular pizza chain.
Straw Hat Pizza hand delivers colorful Valentine’s Day cards (approximately 300 per school), to elementary schools within a 3-mile radius of all 72 Straw Hat Pizza locations (for students 13 years old or under) each February. “The fun valentine cards are intended for teachers to share the love with their students and reward positive behavior and achievements,” said Jonathan Fornaci, president, Straw Hat Pizza.
Straw Hat Pizza has a long track record of community relations along with donating Valentine’s Day cards to area elementary schools each February. Pizza tours and fundraisers for kids and families have been part of the 51 year old pizza brand through the years providing both fun and educational experiences and of course pizza eating!.
Restaurants like this one are the reason I dont mind over paying for service as well as food. Great to see companies giving back to the community.
