Patxi’s Pizza, the Bay Area brand famous for classic Chicago-style stuffed pizza and authentic Italian thin crust, celebrates its 10th anniversary on Wednesday, June 4, with celebrations at the chain’s three metro-area locations, including food and drink specials, contests and more.
Patxi’s (pronounced PAH-cheese) co-founders Bill Freeman and Francisco “Patxi” Azpiroz started the 52 Weeks of Giving program in November 2010. The goal of the program is to provide community support to organizations which share Patxi’s passion for education and children’s health and welfare.
Each of Patxi’s 12 restaurants donates 10 percent of all sales from one day to their partner organization. This includes sales from dine-in guests for lunch and dinner, carry-out and delivery orders, as well as all catering sales.
To date, 52 Weeks of Giving has raised more than $440,444 for partner organizations with that shared mission. So far this year, Patxi’s has raised more than $125,167 through 196 events; on track for more than a 66 percent increase from $166,620 in 2013 .
“We are so proud of this program,” Freeman said. “It is so important to us to give back and be an active participant in our communities.”
Ten percent giving days and nonprofit partners for local Paxti’s are:
- Monday, June 2, Patxi’s Cherry Creek, 185 Steele St.: Denver City Lacrosse;
- Wednesday, June 4, Patxi’s Kent Place, 3455 S. University Blvd., Englewood: Children’s Diabetes Foundation of Denver;
