Pizza really is wishful thinking. Domino’s Pizza in Santa Monica will continue its contribution to the community by teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles, a philanthropic organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Domino’s Pizza will make a $1 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for every complete order placed on Mondays in August that includes one or more pizzas. The offer is valid on Aug. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Domino’s Pizza in Santa Monica is located at 1865 Lincoln Blvd., and (310) 396-9696.
Founded in 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation was the vision of a group of individuals who helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer. In addition to celebrating its 25 years as a wish-granting charity, Make-A-Wish celebrates having granted more than 11,500 wishes a year and 127,000 wishes worldwide since its start. The foundation has 74 United States chapters and 28 international affiliates on five continents.
The West Los Angeles chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is among its most successful, officials say, granting more than 5,200 wishes to children. The chapter has flourished since its inception in 1983. For more information on the Los Angeles chapter, visit www.wishla.org or call (310) 788-9474.
