For the third-consecutive year, patrons of Donatos Pizza will once again have an opportunity to support life-saving research and care at Nationwide Children’s Hospital this holiday season.
During the “Sweetness of the Holidays” campaign from Nov. 14 to Jan. 8, 2017, Donatos customers can purchase a specially-packaged Nationwide Children’s Cheryl’s cookie for $1, with all proceeds benefitting the hospital. In addition to the Nationwide Children’s logo, the cookie wrapper features the hospital’s iconic blue butterfly across the packaging accompanied by the recognized Cheryl’s script. The gourmet cookie is Cheryl’s signature buttercream frosted cut-out cookie.
Additionally, when customers purchase a 20-ounce bottle of Diet Pepsi at Donatos pizzerias, 50 cents will be contributed to Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
