Clarksville, Tenn. (June 4, 2019) – In a generous twist to its grand opening celebration, the new Domino’s on Old Farmers Road near Exit 11 donated all sales from the day to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarksville. The event, held May 16, raised $5,580 for the local mentoring nonprofit.
“We feel it’s important to give back in any way possible. I know I would not be where I am today without the support and encouragement from the community,” said Domino’s franchise owner Antonio Murgas. “Any time we can pay it forward and highlight the people doing good here, we are going to take that opportunity and uplift others.”
Through carry out orders, lunches, dinners and gift cards, the community supported a local business as well as an important cause. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides one-to-one mentoring programs to at-risk children in the Clarksville-Montgomery County community. BBBS pairs children facing adversity with adult mentors who meet with them consistently and regularly to form a supportive relationship that can boost self-esteem and result in higher aspirations in children.
The Clarksville Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting to commemorate the event, Q108 held Celebrity Pizza Making and BBBS representatives were onsite to answer questions about the program.
“Big Brothers Big Sisters has great plans for the future and we depend on the generosity of the community in order to operate. This donation from Domino’s will help effect change in the lives of children,” said BBBS Executive Director Chris Buerck.
