TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pizza Nova announces that its 26th annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraiser has raised $231,045 in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario. Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, presented the funds to Charlie Johnstone, CEO of Variety Ontario, during a special event at Variety Village on June 5.

“Each year, I’m reminded of how powerful community can be when we come together for a meaningful cause,” said Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “Thanks to the generosity of our guests and the dedication of our franchisees and team members, we’re able to help open doors for children to grow, play, and thrive.
