Pagliacci Pizza for Community Passageways

The past seven days have been a significant moment in our country’s history. For too long, many in our country have had blinders on and it is unacceptable. Inclusivity and diversity have long been hallmarks of Pagliacci. It is forever who we are. Two of our core values; respect and care for employees and do the right thing were formed based on the premise of inclusivity and acceptance.  Yet, we recognize that we must do more.  The work we have been doing on equity and inclusivity needs to continue at Pagliacci in a much bigger way.

Since 2018, we have partnered with the organization, Community Passageways, many of you have been involved. The work of Dominique Davis (founder and CEO), and the entire team at CP, is truly inspiring. Their dedicated efforts support the most vulnerable among us. Every day, they fight to save the lives of young adults, mostly African American, by replacing the school-to-prison pipeline with a school-to-life pathway. EVERY DAY. This work is done by the most caring, strong and compassionate group of individuals. 

These are just a few of the reasons why we are doubling down on our support for Community Passageways. In addition to the mentoring, the jobs, the pizza and the financial support we have been providing, today, we are writing a check to CP for an additional $10,000 and sponsoring a matching fund. For any contribution to CP, Pagliacci will match up to an additional $10,000. If you, your co-workers or your friends contribute, Pagliacci will match it.  If we come together, we will raise $30,000.
