Grotto Pizza donates to UDance

Grotto Gives, the philanthropic arm of Grotto Pizza, recently donated $1,317 to UDance through its Community Pizza Night program.

Hosted at the University of Delaware, UDance is a student-run organization dedicated to unifying the community while raising awareness of childhood cancer. Its efforts culminate in a 12-hour philanthropic dance marathon held every March at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark.

“We’re honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the UDance community and their efforts with providing support to those battling pediatric cancer,” said Jeff Gosnear, vice president of Grotto Pizza. “Community involvement and customer connectivity are at the heart of what we focus on at Grotto Pizza, and supporting student-driven events like this is exactly what we’re all about.”

Known for its philanthropy and civic-minded culture, the restaurant established a Community Pizza Night program that gives 20 percent cash back to nonprofit organizations that host an event at Grotto Pizza. Community Pizza Night time slots are available from 4 to 9 p.m., Monday-Thursday. For more information, go to www.GrottoPizza.com.
