Foundation FAQ
At Boston Pizza we take pride in our strong culture of giving back to the communities in which we live and operate. Although we would love to support everyone, due to the significant number of requests we receive Boston Pizza International and the Boston Pizza Foundation are unable to support all sponsorship/charity opportunities. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to contact your local Boston Pizza restaurant for support.
