We're suckers for a happy ending – especially when it involves cars, kids, and hot pizza. Recall, if you will, this past summer when John Schnatter, founder of Papa John's Pizza, was on a nationwide quest to find his beloved 1971 1/2 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 – a car he sold in the mid-Eighties to fund his first store. John found his car in Kentucky, and then generously gave free pizzas from its 2,600 nationwide locations to all Camaro owners on August 26th.
Still feeling more than a bit elated with the return of his Z28, and intent on providing hope and inspiration to less fortunate children, Schnatter has now created a nifty little 1:64 scale diecast replica of his car. The metal cars sell for $4.99 apiece and each one comes with a coupon for a free medium cheese pizza ($1 from each car purchased will be donated to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation). In addition to selling the cars online, Papa John's is donating 5,000 mini Camaros directly to Toys for Tots. All told, Papa John's is contributing more than $155,000 to the Marine program and touching countless lives in the process.
I see more Papa John’s in my future, that’s for sure.
I wonder if one of my old teachers still has a link to my HS so I can help out with their toy drive.
Papa Johns is actually one of the few chain pizzas I like. They dont scrimp on the toppings, thats for sure
Gotta agree, they make good pizza.
