Donate to The Marco’s Pizza Foundation Black Friday – Giving Tuesday and Receive a Free Small Cheese Pizza Coupon

TOLEDO, OH – Marco’s Pizza, one of the nation’s fastest-growing pizza brands, encourages guests to give back in a meaningful way this holiday season to support their communities. During one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year, Black Friday (Nov. 28) through Giving Tuesday (Dec. 2), guests who make a contribution to The Marco’s Pizza Foundation at checkout will receive a free small cheese pizza coupon, redeemable at participating locations anytime in December.*

The Marco’s Pizza Foundation supports four key pillars: hunger prevention, schools & education, workforce development and entrepreneurship. Since October 2024, the Marco’s Pizza Foundation has supported Junior Achievement USA (JA) and its local chapters.

“Every day, we see how even small acts of generosity can spark meaningful change,” said Raven Fisher, Executive Director of The Marco’s Pizza Foundation. “Cyber Week gives our guests a simple way to make a big impact; supporting students, strengthening communities, and helping local Junior Achievement programs reach even more young people.”

JA USA helps equip students with essential financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship skills through hands-on learning experience. The nationwide collaboration helps unite the Marco’s Pizza brand, its franchisees, and the communities it serves around a shared mission. A portion of funds collected by the Marco’s Pizza Foundation during Cyber Week will be directed to local Junior Achievement chapters to support community programs.

“During the holiday season, families are looking for meaningful ways to give back, and what better way than investing in the next generation,” said Stephanie Moseley, President of the Marco’s Pizza Foundation and Multi-Unit Franchisee. “Local Junior Achievement programs help equip students with the skills and confidence to pursue big futures.”

The initiative is part of the Foundation’s mission to bring people together to nurture and nourish the communities they call home. Since launching in 2022, the Foundation has united Marco’s Pizza franchisees, team members, and guests around a shared commitment to making a meaningful local impact.

“Marco’s Pizza is built on a culture of community, and our Foundation continues to expand the reach of that mission,” Moseley added. “Whether a guest donates a few cents or a few dollars, every contribution fuels programs that help improve the lives of children, families, and future entrepreneurs.”

Guests can donate at checkout online, in-app, or in-store during the promotion period. Upon donating, they will receive a coupon for a free small cheese pizza, redeemable on orders placed at participating locations in December.*
