Shaq-a-Roni Pizza Returns to Papa Johns Promoting Community Support
Shaq-a-Roni Pizza Back at Papa Johns for 5th Year
Papa Johns has reintroduced its iconic Shaq-a-Roni pizza for a limited time in the United States as it celebrates its fifth anniversary on the menu this fall. Developed alongside famed basketball player and Papa Johns franchisee Shaquille O’Neal, every Shaq-a-Roni sold helps raise funds for The Papa Johns Foundation.
“I’m thrilled to see the Shaq-a-Roni return for another year,” Shaquille O’Neal expressed. “This initiative goes beyond just offering delicious pizza; it’s a way to give back to the communities that are so important to us.”
Papa Johns Foundation and Its Community Efforts
The Papa Johns Foundation plays a crucial role in enhancing community welfare by implementing projects that focus on youth leadership, entrepreneurship, and battling food insecurity. Over the past four years, special sales of the Shaq-a-Roni pizza have contributed approximately $13.1 million to these noble causes.
In addition, the foundation has invested more than $4 million in its Building Community Fund, which provides grants aimed at aiding local community initiatives organized by franchisees.
“Our commitment is to foster unity through pizza, which provides a wonderful opportunity to highlight pressing community challenges,” remarked Jennifer Garner, Senior Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Papa Johns. “The partnership with Shaquille O’Neal exemplifies how a beloved product can create positive change.”
Support for Nonprofits Through Community Fund
This year, more than 250 nonprofit organizations across the United States are reaping the benefits of the Building Community Fund. A major focus remains on alleviating child food insecurity, which involves partnerships with organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Newark and Kids’ Meals, Inc. in Houston.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Newark has initiated the “Healthy Living Through Access and Nutritional Education” program. This effort seeks to instruct young people about healthy living through engaging activities like cooking demonstrations and gardening projects. Meanwhile, Kids’ Meals, Inc. is receiving funds to fortify their Healthy Meal Delivery program aimed at combating childhood hunger by delivering nutritious meals to the homes of at-risk preschool children in Houston.
