Raising Dough with Domino's Pizza

This blog is dedicated to Raising Dough with Domino's Pizza in Midland, Odessa, and Big Spring, TX.

Our Raising Dough programs are designed specifically with schools in mind, and we tailor our opportunities to fit what works for schools.

During the 2010-2011 school year, our programs helped to raise more than $7,000!!! And we're just getting started. This year we are making improvements to our programs in an effort to make them simpler, smarter, and more effective.

Check back here to learn more about some of the improvements we've made, the new opportunities we are offering, and track the progress of your school in their fundraising efforts.

The $500 Challenge

There are many things in life one is rewarded for, but being rewarded for raising money? That's a new one.

This year, we are launching The $500 Challenge in each of our school districts. Every school which enrolls in our Dough Night program has a chance to win an additional $500, on top of whatever money they raise through their Dough Night.

We're counting on a little friendly competition between schools to help catapult Dough Nights into the next level of fundraising. 

Between August and December each participating school will be given two Dough Nights, two opportunities to show the rest of their district who has the most enthusiastic community. 

At the end of the semester, the school which has raised the most money through their Dough Nights is going to get an extra $500 check!!!

And just to sweeten (cause savory-en isn't a word) the challenge, we are also going to treat the winning school to a Teacher & Staff Pizza Party!!!

We'll update the standings through this blog, so check back during the semester to see if your school is going to come out on top!!

The Hits Keep On Comin'

At Domino's Pizza, we are always breaking records...setting goals...raising the bar...so we decided to add some new stars to our school programs.

- POPs for Pie - Everyone eats pizza, we like to think everyone eats Domino's Pizza. And while we think a delicious, hot Domino's Pizza is reward in and of itself, like I said, we can't help raising the bar.

This year, teachers will have the opportunity to collect Proof of Purchase (POP) tabs in their classroom and earn a free pizza party. We'll supply fliers to announce the POPs for Pie program to your students and a catchy little poster (literally, it catches your POP tabs, supplying a visual countdown to your party):

- STUDENT REWARD CERTIFICATES - A little motivation never hurt anyone! If you're looking for ways to motivate your students, how about dangling a little slice of perfection at the end of that stick instead of a carrot? Our student reward certificates are available to you to be used in the classroom at your discretion. We just ask that you make sure the receiver has earned the prize...after all, we consider a Free Domino's Pizza a pretty valuable reward. 

Bringing Back Your Favorites

We have taken our popular programs and made them simpler and smarter!

- DOUGH NIGHTS - Our spin on the popular "restaurant night" fundraiser is a simpler, more profitable option. On your schools scheduled Dough Night, families can order using an exclusive coupon that not only gets them a great deal, it earns your school $3.00/order! That's a return of 18.5%!!! The best part is, it's simple. We provide all the marketing materials needed (fliers, signs, stickers) to help promote the event. There is no form to turn in or receipts to keep track off. Families order at their convenience, for pick up or delivery, making for more participation...and more money for your school!!

Just because we like to out-do ourselves, we've tacked on The $500 Challenge to our Dough Nights this year!

- ALL YOU CAN EAT PIZZA BUFFET - Planning an afterschool event and looking for a way to increase participation from families? Say you are hosting a Reading Night, a Math Night, an Open House and want to make sure as many students as possible can make it there. Our All You Can Eat Pizza Buffet is the perfect compliment to your event, and is a great way to encourage participation.

Make your after school event convenient for families, and they'll eat it up! Literally.

Our pizza buffet is the perfect compliment. Families can come to the school and sit down together to enjoy unlimited pizza, salad, and drinks - all at a fraction of what it would cost them to pick up fast food on the way to your event and with much more ease than trying to rush through dinner at home.

The $5 per person ticket (kids not of school age are free) is split 50/50 between Domino's Pizza and your school - potentially earning your school hundreds of dollars in one evening!!

The best part: we do all the work. We'll provide the staff to set-up, serve, and clean-up, so even your most dedicated PTA members can sit down and have a family meal!
