TORONTO — Pizza Nova announced its latest installment in a series of donations to support breakfast programs for Ontario students. On April 12, Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, presented the $28,767 to Student Nutrition Ontario at a breakfast event held at Balmoral Drive Senior Public School in Brampton, Ont.
“Our commitment to a quality menu and authentic Italian recipes aligns perfectly with our goal to help students to start their day right — with a well-nourished mind that is ready to learn,” says Primucci. “It’s through programs such as these that we can support the children of our province. We thank our loyal customers for their support in this campaign.”
Pizza Nova’s collaboration with Student Nutrition Ontario began with ‘Coins for Breakfast’ in 2015, a program supporting Student Nutrition Ontario through donation boxes at Pizza Nova locations. Today, 4,668 student-nutrition programs support nearly one million students in Ontario daily.
“We see a noticeable improvement in concentration and academic performance among participants, underscoring the vital role of nutrition in education. So many children benefit from having access to healthy meals through their schools,” says Alexandra Pasiak, co-chair, at Student Nutrition Ontario. “This contribution from Pizza Nova through its ‘Coins for Breakfast’ program is greatly appreciated and will help our schools.”
This year’s donation brings Pizza Nova’s total contribution to Student Nutrition Ontario to a total of $293,509 since the start of their partnership.
