The Marco's Pizza Foundation gave more than $317,000 to Junior Achievement USA. This milestone follows the brand's October announcement of its charitable collaboration with JA, setting an ambitious $500,000 fundraising goal — now more than halfway achieved, according to a press release.

The donation will be distributed among local JA chapters. A portion of the funds will also support Junior Achievement's Future Bound event, where over 300 students will compete in national programs such as the JA Company of the Year Competition, the Social Innovation Challenge, the Stock Market Challenge, and the JA Titans of Business Competition.

Marco's Pizza franchisees and their communities played a pivotal role in this initiative, raising funds through customer round-ups and voluntary $1, $3 and $5 donations made during menu purchases*.

"Marco's Pizza believes in the power of education and entrepreneurship to shape the future," said Stephanie Moseley, president of the Marco's Pizza Foundation and a multi-unit franchisee. "Seeing franchisees and customers rally behind this cause reaffirms Marco's commitment to making a real difference in the communities it serves."

The Marco's Pizza Foundation was established in 2022. Marco's Pizza is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, and has more than 1,200 locations in 35 states with locations in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Mexico.
