The Marco's Pizza Foundation has partnered with Junior Achievement. The foundation has a goal of reaching $500,000 in donations to the Junior Achievement organization, according to a press release.

Funds collected at each location will be directly donated to the foundation, which will allocate a portion of those funds to JA to be distributed to local Junior Achievement chapters, affirming the brand's belief in actively benefitting the communities it serves. To participate, guests are encouraged to round up or give a $1, $3 or $5 donation when ordering their favorite menu items.

"We have an obligation as an organization to be a source of good in our local communities," Stephanie Moseley, the Marco's Pizza Foundation president and multi-unit franchisee, said in the press release. "At Marco's, we believe in the power of uplifting students to unlock their full potential. Now, we will provide resources to spark big dreams across the country."

Tim Greinert, president of Junior Achievement USA, said the foundation's efforts with Marco's are a testament to the power of collaboration in shaping the future.

"As an organization founded on the idea of promoting business ownership, they are a great partner to show our students across the country that business ownership is possible, and there are resources to achieve it," he said in the press release. "Together, we can equip young minds with the skills, resources, and inspiration they need to become the entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow."

This is the Marco's Pizza Foundation's second time teaming up with a national non-profit organization to make a big impact in communities nationwide. Previously, the Foundation worked with No Kid Hungry, resulting in $475,000 in aid to help ensure that all kids in the U.S. have access to three meals a day.

Marco's Pizza has more than 1,200 stores in 35 states with locations in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Mexico.
