A PIZZA store in Bournemouth is supporting a national festive fundraiser by throwing a party for 100 customers.
Papa John’s in Wimborne Road will be donating to ITV’s Christmas charity appeal, Text Santa, which gives hope to families in difficulty at Christmas.
This year the appeal is supporting Macmillan Cancer Support, Make-A-Wish UK and Save the Children.
The ITV Text Santa Pizza Party will take place at the Papa John’s store on Tuesday, December 1, from 12-5pm. The first 100 customers to come through the door will receive a free pizza.
Store manager Vince Babbra, said: “ITV’s Text Santa is a fantastic appeal that raises awareness about an important issue in a fun and friendly way. We’re delighted that we can play a part in this national appeal.
“The team will also be wearing their favourite festive jumpers as part of the appeal’s theme of doing their bit in a Christmas knit,” he added.
Papa John’s is setting a minimum donation of £3 for the pizzas on the day, with all the money going to charity. The store will also be donating 50p from all XXL pizzas sold during the festive period.
