TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In partnership with CHIN Radio/TV International, Pizza Nova customers helped raise $15,000 for Scarborough Health Network Foundation. Held on one of the busiest pizza days of the year, the campaign saw a portion of proceeds from all phone, web, and app orders on October 31st donated to SHN Foundation. The funds will help advance patient care and critical services across Scarborough Health Network’s three hospitals and community-based sites.

“We’re thrilled with the results of this year’s fundraiser and grateful to everyone who placed an order and contributed to such an important cause,” says Domenic Primucci, President of Pizza Nova. “Our partnership with CHIN is an initiative rooted in community spirit and giving back and I am happy we were able to support the Scarborough Health Network Foundation, a cause that is very near to my heart.”
