Since being founded over 30 years ago, the Boston Pizza Foundation has been committed to serving local communities across Canada.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests and franchisee partners, we've raised and donated over $37 million to charities across Canada! This support comes through initiatives such as our Valentine's Day Paper Hearts, Heart-Shaped Pizzas™, Kids Cards, and the Annual Boston Pizza Foundation Invitational Golf Tournament.

  • Paper Hearts at Boston Pizza

    The Paper Hearts campaign initiative started 30 years ago after Boston Pizza franchisees David and Lisa MacPherson welcomed their son Kyle who was born with a life-threatening heart condition called hyperplastic right heart syndrome. The store staff decided they wanted to help by cutting red paper hearts and selling them for $1 each. The fundraising was so successful that the next year, Boston Pizza decided to sell Paper Hearts in all stores across the country.

  • Ollie Bots Foundation

    Boston Pizza Antigonish Franchisees Alexis and Bill Beaton and team presented Ollie Bots with a donation of $3,500 raised through their Annual Hearts Campaign.

  • Nothern Alberta Charities

    Thanks to the annual Nothern Alberta Charity Golf Tournament, organized by the Nothern Alberta Boston Pizza franchisees, more than 222K was raised to support Northen Alberta Charities, such as the Alberta Cancer Foundation, Kids Help Phone, and the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

  • Children's Heart Centre

    Boston Pizza franchisees from the Enright Group partnered with the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba to help build the new Children's Heart Centre in Winnipeg. They have pledged to raise $125,000 over the next two years through their local fundraising initiatives, including Valentine's Day.

  • The Terry Fox Research Institute - Profyle

    Thank you to Boston Pizza franchisees from the Enright Group for their sponsorship of the charity golf tournament supporting the fight against cancer. All the money raised was given back to The Terry Fox Research Institute's project Profyle.
