Pizza Hut To Hold Fundraiser For Tornado Relief

Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas Pizza Hut restaurants will hold a
fundraiser to benefit the United Way Pizza Hut Tornado Relief Fund on Monday, June 6th. More
than 550 Pizza Hut locations across the four states will participate.
15% of all Dine-In, Carryout and Delivery sales on June 6th will go to the United Way Pizza Hut

KS; Chickasha, OK and Strawberry, AR.
NPC International owned and operated the two Pizza Hut locations in Joplin. Two NPC
employees were killed and both Joplin restaurants were destroyed by the tornado. “We cannot
begin to express the sadness we have felt over the last several days after losing two of our
employees and witnessing the massive devastation in Joplin. We feel like we need to do
everything we can to help those affected.” said Jim Schwartz, President and CEO of NPC
International, the largest Pizza Hut franchisee.
“We know our customers want to make a difference,” stated Kym Money, Director of Marketing
for Fugate Enterprises, a franchisee of Pizza Hut. “This has been a horrible year for tornados
across the Midwest and this fundraiser offers our customers and our Pizza Hut family a chance to
help their friends and neighbors.”
No special paperwork is needed to participate. Everyone that eats at any participating Pizza Hut
in the states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma or Arkansas on Monday, June 6th will add to the
contributions.
