CEO of Pizza Inn's parent company, RAVE Restaurant Group
(NASDAQ: RAVE), Brandon Solano said,
"We're proud to partner with Wounded Warrior Project to provide
free, life-changing programs and services to America's injured
veterans and their families. This year-long partnership allows
us to come together for the greater good of our community." He
adds, "Pizza Inn has been bringing people together since 1958. We
are a hometown brand that wants to take our customers back to a
simpler time when everyone came together at the local buffet to
enjoy a family dinner alongside their neighbors. Today, as we
remember those who have lost their lives in service to our country,
we can come together to support an organization that truly honors
the veteran community."
Each of the four limited edition glasses are priced at
$1.50, and are available during
consecutive two-week windows, with fifty
cents from the sale of each glass donated directly to WWP. A
limited number of glasses has been produced so all four are
available only while supplies last.
Mottos on the collectible glasses were selected to represent the
broader culture of brotherly love and unity. They focus on all
Americans joining in camaraderie, demonstrating cooperation, and
coming together for a cause everyone can support. Pizza Inn
describes the meaning of each glass's motto as follows:
- Glass 1: "United We Stand" - As depicted in the image of
the U.S. Marines jointly planting an American flag atop a hill on
Iwo Jima, all Americans are stronger together.
- Glass 2: "We Can Do It!" - Starring Rosie the Riveter,
who represents the women who worked in factories and shipyards
during World War II, taking on entirely new jobs to replace male
workers who joined the military. It was an effective call for our
country to come together for the greater good.
- Glass 3: "We the people" - Pizza Inn believes the
Declaration of Independence was truly inspired and it has been a
remarkably resilient blueprint for our country throughout the past
247 years. Its first line declares that we are united as a country
and as a people.
- Glass 4: "One Nation,
Under God, Indivisible" - Pizza Inn promotes that we are all
profoundly related as humans and as Americans. We are one nation,
one people, and our belief in a God of each individual's
understanding gives perspective, hope, and ultimately love for
ourselves and others.
"We are grateful for Pizza Inn's commemoration of those who paid
the ultimate sacrifice, and for their commitment to honoring and
empowering wounded warriors," said Brea
Kratzert Todd, WWP vice president of business development.
"This support helps Wounded Warrior Project provide free,
life-changing programs and services in mental health, career
counseling, long-term rehabilitative care, and policy advocacy to
warriors and their families."
Pizza Inn will continue to garner support for WWP throughout the
year with several campaigns planned to engage people who live and
work around its restaurants.
Unlike typical buffets or pizza shops, Pizza Inn crafts its
pizzas with house-made dough, made from scratch each morning. Every
pizza is made with high-quality ingredients, including 100%
house-shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese, freshly chopped garden
vegetables, and a myriad of traditional and unconventional
toppings. They also offer traditional pastas, and unique desserts,
as well as a robust, all-you-can-eat fresh salad bar, with a
plentiful array of house-cut ingredients, popular toppings, and six
different dressings, including house-made ranch.
