Domino’s Pizza donated $110 million to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, making it the largest donation the hospital has seen in its history.

Domino’s and its franchisees have pledged to raise the money over the next ten years.

The money will go towards 140 apartments St. Jude is developing on its Memphis campus for families of children who are receiving treatment, and the facility will be called “The Domino’s Village” to honor the company’s gift, WATE reported.

“The Domino’s Village will provide a home-away-from-home for the thousands of kids and families who come to St. Jude from around the world,” said Richard Shadyac, president and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising arm of St. Jude. “They will forever be transformed by the generosity of Domino’s in their greatest time of need.”

I believe the Domino’s guy gave a ton of money for Ave Maria University in Florida.

Wow! St. Jude’s does a wonderful work. It would be a disaster if the Marxist fools took power and made this kind of good work impossible. . . .and that is exactly what they will do.

Agreed. But they got a couple of new pies out and now I have a reason to try ‘em (yeah, even the cheeseburger).

A friend of mine passed away unexpectedly. He owned approx 100 Dominoes stores. He was very wealthy. And very generous toward important things. I believe it is part of the corporate culture. The pizza is satisfactory, but our family buys it proudly because of how our friend and his record of generosity.

“.. $110 million ...... towards 140 apartments”

Those are some pretty pricey doors.

I give to them a couple times a year. I remember Danny Thomas from my youth. What a great legacy and so unselfishly. And continued by his daughter.

It’s a very worthy cause. Nothing worse than to see children suffering.

As a matter of fact, I did. I told them I ordered a pizza and it came with assagio cheese on it. Who the hell puts assagio cheese on a pizza when it wasn’t requested? Domino’s, that’s who.

What? No money for BLM? Those racist bastards. Should it matter that St Judes is a charity for sick children? Sick children who will have to grow up in a racist country? That money would be better used getting rid of Donald Trump.

Such are the times we live in that I have to disclaim this as sarcasm.

Well, I’m glad I don’t, and will never, have Comcast as a provider.
