Children's Programs VISTA
The Our Club Summer Youth Program
started off with a big bang thanks to Drew
Weber and U.S. Pizza Company! It was
wonderful to have a donor that did more
than just give a donation. They gave us a
summer to remember.
Thinking back on the first day of this year‟s
program, I remember seeing the smiling
faces of over 75 children, all excited to pick
out their swimsuits, grab their water bottles,
and slide on their awesome new flip flops.
Seeing those smiles and hearing that
excitement was definitely the highlight of
the summer.
Thanks to U.S. Pizza‟s hard work and love
for Our House, we were able to provide for
all of the children that attended our summer
program. It was great that Drew Weber
challenged not only his employees but also
the employees of other U.S. Pizza locations
in a contest to see who could raise the most
money for our kids‟ summer swimming
supplies.
Together the locations brought in a total of
over $4,000 that got us off to a great start.
