Successful Launch Kicks off Pizza for a Purpose

Pizza for a Purpose was successfully launched at Caneland Central, last Saturday, June 1. 
 
Parents, children, local businesses and organisations such as Real Mates Talk and Run for Mi Life took centre stage engaging in fun activities and offering services all in the name of suicide prevention and to raise awareness for Pizza for a Purpose. 
 
Throughout June, five dollars for every large pizza sold at Laffos, will be donated to the Grapevine Group for entirely local initiatives. 
 
As part of the launch, Laffos hosted two pizza making workshops, where Bottletops and Brushes held a painting workshop and Let’s Face It offered children’s face painting and balloon artistry. 
 
HIT FM Mackay also broadcasted the event from centre stage throughout the morning. 
 
“It was our best ever launch.” Laffos spokesperson, Nicole Batzloff said. 
 
“But it’s just the beginning. We really want the community to get behind Pizza for a Purpose and have a large pizza this June.” 
 
Whether dining in at Laffos, ordering takeaway, or purchasing via Menulog, $5 from every pizza sold will go towards supporting the Grapevine group and their efforts in preventing suicide within the community. 
 
Local businesses are also encouraged to host a Pizza Party at their workplaces and use their party packs to share their support on social media. 
 
Businesses wishing to support this cause can call Laffos on 4898 1121.
