PLYMOUTH, MASS. — From July 6 through August 2, customers at participating Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo locations will be invited to make a $1 contribution to the Jimmy Fund at the register. In return, customers will receive a sheet of coupons for popular menu items at D’Angelo, Papa Gino’s, and other retailers including, Water Country, Yuengling’s Ice-Cream, Valvoline, Joint Ventures and T-Mobile.

The local stores participating in the Grand Slam Savings for a Great Cause:

Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo have partnered with the Jimmy Fund since 2009 to raise more than $818,000, and are striving to reach the $1 million mark this year. When customers give at the register, 100 percent of the contributions benefit cancer research and adult and pediatric patient care at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

“The Jimmy Fund is such an amazing cause, and one that we feel passionate about,” says Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo Chairman, Mark DeBlois. “With the generosity of our guests and enthusiasm of our team members, we are optimistic about surpassing the $1 million mark this year and look forward to reaching additional financial milestones to benefit the cause.”

“We are so grateful to Papa Gino’s and D’Angelo for their commitment to supporting the lifesaving mission of Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund,” said David Giagrando, assistant vice president, corporate partnerships, Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. “The support of their generous customers furthers our work in adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber and we are honored to partner with them.”
