On October 18, our very own patient ambassador Helena, 6, launched Pizza Pizza’s Slices for Smiles Campaign for Children’s Miracle Network by donning a cap and apron and getting her hands dirty in a downtown Toronto Pizza Pizza kitchen. Helena, who was diagnosed with leukemia two-and-a-half years ago, rolled up her sleeves to learn how to make the signature “Smile” Pizza with Pizza Pizza’s Director of Training, Ben Campoli, and Toronto FC player Richard Eckersley.

From October 17 to 30 in celebration of National Pizza Month, Pizza Pizza is putting its fundraising efforts into overdrive as the Slices for Smiles Foundation marks its fifth anniversary. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of $4.99 12" medium pepperoni pizzas and $2 "Smile" pizzas will go toward Children's Miracle Network member children's hospitals  in Canada. Proceeds from GTA and Northern Ontario sales benefit SickKids.

Looks like Helena has a great future as a creative chef!
