Lisa's Luna Pizza Raising Funds During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is both National Pizza Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for Lisa Maurer of Avon, both causes are important. She’s the owner of Lisa’s Luna Pizza in Simsbury Commons and is also friends many women who are battling breast cancer.

That’s why Maurer is donating $1 for every large pizza sold at full price during October to Hartford Healthcare’s Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center in Avon. This is the third year she has donated a portion of her pizza proceeds to a breast cancer cause.

“We raised $2,500 over the past two years for breast cancer research with this fundraiser,” Maurer said. “Many women in our area receive their treatment at the Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center so I thought I would make a local donation this year.”
