Be sure to spread the word to your friends and family, CISVers and non-CISVers alike! $500 in sales must be reached for our organization to receive a donation.

In-person, you can show a printed or virtual flyer on your phone for it to count. On-site solicitation for others to join our fundraiser is prohibited and may result in cancellation of the fundraiser.

Be sure to enter the promo code 1056A for online orders in the Blaze Pizza app or blazepizza.com. If entered correctly, you will see a $.01 discount applied to your check which confirms that 20% of your transaction will be counted into the total donation. No other discount can be applied.
