Back-to-school initiative gives sports teams, clubs and organizations a bigger way to raise funds all month long
Blaze Pizza Boosts September Fundraising Giveback to 25% for Local Schools and Community Groups
ATLANTA, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blaze Pizza, the nation’s leading fast-casual pizza concept, is helping local schools and community organizations turn back-to-school season into meaningful fundraising support. From September 1 through September 30, 2026, participating Blaze Pizza restaurants will contribute 25% of eligible fundraiser sales to approved groups that host a fundraising event onsite during the month, an increased giveback from the brand’s typical 20% year-round offer.
As students return to classrooms, practice fields and club meetings, Blaze Pizza is inviting school sports teams, booster clubs, student organizations, parent groups and other local nonprofits to gather their supporters over pizza while raising funds for the programs that bring their communities together.
The limited-time September giveback is designed to make it easier for groups to build momentum at the start of the school year, whether they are raising money for uniforms, travel, classroom needs, club activities or community programs. Guests can enjoy Blaze’s signature personalized, fast-fired pizzas while helping their favorite local organization earn more from every eligible fundraiser order.
Fundraisers must take place between September 1 and September 30, 2026, to qualify for the increased 25% giveback. The offer is available through participating Blaze Pizza restaurants, with local restaurant teams coordinating event details directly with approved organizations.
Groups interested in hosting a September fundraiser can submit a request at www.blazepizza.com/fundraising. Once the form is completed, the request is routed directly to the local Blaze Pizza restaurant for review and event setup.
