MUNISING—Alger County Communities That Care (AC3), in partnership with Pictured Rocks Pizza, will host the 8th annual Pizza with a Purpose fundraiser with proceeds used to support suicide prevention in Alger County.
The event will be held Thursday, Oct. 3, from noon until 8 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 4 from noon until 7 p.m. at the popular Munising pizzeria famous for its gourmet wood-fired pizza. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support social workers and telehealth services in Alger County schools.
“Pizza With a Purpose is a fun way for us to raise dough for a worthwhile cause,” said AC3 Board Chair Sandy Ehlert. “We are extremely grateful for the generosity of Jeff, Kim and Sean Cromell, owners of Pictured Rocks Pizza. They are wonderful partners. Together with the public, they are making a huge positive impact on the mental health of our community’s young people.”
Individuals wishing to support the fundraiser can call in their order to Pictured Rocks Pizza at 906-387-5700 for pick up or outdoor dining, or they can order at the door. Checks can be made out to Alger CTC. New this year, credit cards will be accepted.
Menu options include a two topping 12-inch pizza or hot pasta (garlic alfredo or marinara sauce) with garlic bread for $12. Additional toppings are available for an extra $2 for pepperoni, sausage, ham or chicken and $1 for mushrooms, onions, green peppers, pineapple or banana peppers.
A limited number of T-shirts—size small through extra-large—celebrating the event will be available for sale. Miners Pasties and Ice Cream, Pictured Rocks Kayaking and the Munising Volunteer Fire Department are sponsoring the T-shirts.
Ehlert credits volunteers for the success of the annual fundraiser.
“Wonderful adult and youth volunteers step up to help every year, and we are so appreciative. The event couldn’t happen without them,” Ehlert said. “We are also grateful for the local businesses, schools and community members who order pizza and pasta for these two days. Together, we are making a difference in the community.”
