TORONTO — Pizza Nova has raised $61,500 in support of Villa Charities at the company’s 26th annual golf tournament at the Station Creek Golf Club in Gormley, Ont. Villa Charities works to enrich lives through services that honour Italian culture and heritage, and the funds will go to support the Villa Colombo Toronto long-term care home. More than 230 guests attended the tournament, including franchisees, suppliers, partners, family and friends.
As the company celebrates 60 years in business, Pizza Nova also celebrates a more than 25-year partnership with Villa Charities, raising more than $710,000 over the years.
“Each year, our annual golf fundraiser allows the Pizza Nova family to come together and support worthy causes as a community,” says Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “We’re grateful to our partners for their continued generosity and to Villa Charities for the work they do to support the community and honour Italian heritage.”
“I’m thrilled that Pizza Nova has selected Villa Charities as the beneficiary of their premier golf event,” says Marco DeVuono, president and CEO, Villa Charities Inc. “The funds raised through this tournament will help further Villa Charities’ mission of enriching lives through experiences and services that honour Italian culture and heritage by supporting key strategic priorities at our Villa Colombo Toronto long-term care home.”
“We’re so proud that after 60 years, Pizza Nova can still bring the community together to support such important organizations,” says Sam Primucci, who founded Pizza Nova in 1963. “After completing our 24th annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraiser event, it’s so special to come together for our 26th annual charity golf tournament to do even more for our communities.”
