Domino’s is calling on everyday heroes to raise $150,000 of ‘dough’ for Australians in need

Not all superheroes wear capes. But they do eat Domino’s pizza.

On Thursday 9 February 2023, Domino’s stores across Australia will celebrate World Pizza Day with the Company’s second annual ‘Domino’s for Good Day’ fundraising event.

Held on World Pizza Day, Domino’s for Good Day will see the Company and its local store owners come together to donate $1 from selected* pizzas to support Australian charities through Domino’s registered charity, Give for Good.

This year, Domino’s is asking pizza lovers across Australia to forget superheroes in capes and be an everyday hero themselves – all by simply purchasing their favourite Domino’s pizza to help Australians in need.

All proceeds raised on the day will be donated directly to support disaster-affected communities, disadvantaged youth, rural communities, the development of future leaders and mental health initiatives.

Together, Domino’s and Give for Good hope to raise more than $150,000 with the support of everyday heroes across Australia who choose to eat Domino’s pizza on this day.

Domino’s ANZ CEO David Burness said that he is proud of Domino’s stores across the country for passionately supporting their local communities.

“All year round, our stores take pride in supporting the local people, and communities, in which they operate – whether it be a pizza donation to those in ‘knead’ of a hot meal, hosting a ‘Doughraiser’ to raise some much-needed funds for a local cause, or team members donating their time and skills to assist those doing it tough.

“We’re always looking for ways to give back to our local communities and put a smile on people’s faces, and this World Pizza Day is no different. Through this initiative, we’re aiming to raise more than $150,000 across 750+ Domino’s stores to do some serious GOOD in communities right across Australia.”

Give for Good General Manager Bronwyn Spencer said the opportunity for Domino’s stores to come together on this day in support of Australian charities was a ‘dough’ brainer.

“We are so excited to be celebrating Domino’s for Good Day for a second year, and what better day to do it than one dedicated to celebrating the world’s best sharing food: pizza,” said Ms Spencer.

“Domino’s for Good Day is a wonderful way to bring people together every year, while raising funds to support the good work so many Australian charities and organisations are doing.”

Domino’s for Good Day is an annual event on the Company’s fundraising calendar, held on 9 February 2023 (World Pizza Day), across Domino’s stores nationally, from open to close.
