Save The Date: 'Rising' Dough-Raiser Next Week at Pizza My Heart

Santa Cruz based non-profit Rising International is ending world poverty one pizza at time at all 23 Pizza My Heart locations. 

When you order a pizza from any Pizza My Heart from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, Pizza My Heart will donate 30 percent to Rising International. 

Funds raised will support the organization's women's economic empowerment programs both locally in Santa Cruz, and globally in 25 of the world’s "worst places to be alive as a woman," say organizers. "Your slices of hope will change the world."
