Gates Foundation Matching Funds Raised by Blaze Pizza to Fight AIDS
Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza is hosting a month-long EAT (RED) SAVE LIVES campaign this month to support the fight against AIDS.
The restaurant has rebranded their Red Vine pizza as the “(RED) Vine” in each of the company’s restaurants nationwide, and will donate $1 for each of these pizzas sold with a drink.
In addition, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match Blaze’s donation, doubling the total funds raised.
“We’re proud to partner with (RED), standing alongside the Gates Foundation and so many legendary and influential brands as we work together to support this critical fight,” said Jim Mizes, CEO and president of Blaze Pizza. “It’s a perfect alignment, both in terms of the name of our (RED) Vine pizza, and in a larger sense, how we strive to ‘change the game’ when it comes to making an impact.”
Since 2014, the (RED) team has partnered with culinary establishments every June to raise money to fight AIDS through the EAT (RED) SAVE LIVES campaign, led by Chef Mario Batali.
