RED vs. BLUE HEROES PIZZA CHALLENGE
WHO: Organ Stop Pizza and 100 Club of Arizona
WHAT: Police vs Firefighters – Show Your Support Pizza Contest
WHEN: August 18 to September 15, 2012
WHERE: Organ Stop Pizza (Southern/Stapley) in Mesa
**************
WHY: To honor our local heroes, the police and firefighters in the Valley, Organ Stop Pizza is holding a friendly competition between the two Mesa organizations to support The 100 Club of Arizona. Between August 18 and September 14th, 2012, customers of Organ Stop Pizza are encouraged to vote with their taste buds and choose between the four pizzas in the competition, selected by the Mesa Fire and Police. The Mesa Police will have the Smokey BBQ Chicken Pizza and their own Hawaiian Five-0 Pizza, with toppings of pepperoni, bacon, pineapple and onion to choose from. The Mesa Firefighters will be represented with a Buffalo Chicken Pizza and a 5-Alarm Pizza, complete with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and jalapeño. For every purchase (in restaurant or carry out), 20% will be donated to the 100 Club. At the end of the competition, the total of pizzas purchased will be compiled and a winner will be announced at a Community Safety Fair. That winning pizza, announced September 15th, will be added to the Organ Stop Pizza menu until the end of October and every purchase of that pizza, will continue to bring 20% of proceeds to the 100 Club of Arizona.
On Saturday, September 15th from 2-5pm in the Organ Stop Pizza parking lot located on the SW corner of Southern and Stapley in Mesa, the community is invited to a free, family-friendly safety fair put on by the Mesa Fire and Police Departments and local organizations. Parking and admission are free for live entertainment, fire and bicycle safety demonstrations, giveaways, health information and a pizza eating contest between police and firemen. There will also be fire trucks and police cars to check out, plus police dogs and treats from Blue Bell Ice Cream.
