Eating Pizza: Good for Your Belly, Good for Their Heart

Some of us eat pizza with our hands, some with a knife and fork. Some love a nice deep dish pan while others are thin-crust enthusiasts. But no matter what kind of pizza you swear by, there’s a pie out there for everyone. The latest charity event that’s taking place across the city and right in your living room is Sherpa’s Pizza for Charity.

The English food delivery app that we’ve come to love and depend on to bring us our favorite meals is teaming up with Heart to Heart charity organization and the Rotaract Club of Shanghai to raise money for heart surgeries for children across China with congenital heart disease who can’t afford treatment.

From now until Sep 16, every time you order a pizza through Sherpa’s a portion of the order will go directly to Heart to Heart.

After receiving the donation, Heart to Heart will work with their partner hospitals to carefully vet and review applications based on medical and financial need to select a child to undergo surgery. The child will receive medical treatment and stay in intensive care for recovery. Once they’re feeling better, they can begin their journey to a whole new, happy, and healthy life!
