Imo’s Pizza and Rhodes Help Raise $332 for PHS Project Graduation

Traci Lowry and Taylor Old of the Perryville Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes presented Hannah Layton (middle), senior at Perryville High school, with a $332.80 donation.  The money will go to PHS Project Graduation to provide graduating seniors with a safe all-night party after their graduation ceremony.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (APRIL 25, 2018) – Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes presented $332.80 to PHS Project Graduation. The money was generated during a day-long fundraiser held Friday, April 13. Traci Lowry and Taylor Old of Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes presented the donation to Hannah Layton, a senior at Perryville High School.

The donation equaled 10% of Imo’s Pizza purchases made April 13 at Perryville’s Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes including gift cards. The organization’s earning potential was not limited to only a few hours of operation or just customers that mentioned the school upon ordering. Rather, Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes allowed Project Graduation to benefit from all purchases made that day. Imo’s Pizza helped Project Graduation publicize the fundraiser by providing fliers and Facebook posts to reach its social media followers.

Since launching its school fundraising efforts in February 2017, Imo’s Pizza and Rhodes locations have raised more than $23,900 for local schools and organizations. Participating restaurants are located in Perryville, Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Scott City, Sikeston and Poplar Bluff and are owned by PAJCO, Inc., also known as Rhodes convenience stores.

Imo’s Pizza invites any interested school to book a 10% fundraising day or presell Imo’s Pizza baked pizza vouchers to keep 30% of sales. Interested schools should contact their local Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes or visit www.Rhodes101.com/Community/Fundraising-Options.
