Non-profit organization receives $300 from Mother Bear's Pizza

Non-profit organization Giving Back to Africa will receive $300 from a fundraiser that took place at Mother Bear’s Pizza on Wednesday.

For every large pizza ordered along with a coupon, Mother Bear’s Pizza donated $2 to the organization. Giving Back to Africa provides scholarships for students in the Democratic Republic of Congo and also help fund an orphanage in eastern Congo, according to the Giving Back to Africa Web page.

The public had between 5 p.m. and midnight to order and present their coupons, between that time Mother Bear’s collected 108 coupons. Although that amount of $2 coupons only equates to $216, Mother Bear’s will be providing Giving Back to Africa with $300, said Ray McCon, owner of Mother Bear’s.

“It was an excellent night for us, and a very good night for Giving Back to Africa,” McCon said.
