SCRANTON, Pa. — A pizzeria in Scranton is giving back to the community by raising money for a charity dedicated to pancreatic cancer.
Pizza by Pappas hosted the annual fundraiser, contributing 50% of its sales to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
Since the restaurant started doing this about ten years ago, they've raised about $125,000 for research.
The charity provides support, research, and community outreach to those affected by the disease.
"I wanted to make it the easiest fundraiser in the world. You come in and buy dinner, buy lunch, as long as you buy pizza we will donate 50 percent of the sales price of every sold to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. So I said it's a no-brainer, eat pizza, we donate for you," said Bill Sheakoski with Pizza by Pappas.
The owner of Pizza by Pappas says that if you missed the fundraiser on Sunday, you can still stop in the restaurant - they will be collecting donations for the rest of the month in Scranton.
