Be a pizza hero.
Support our Pizza Cook-Off!
Raise money. Make a pizza. Win a prize!
Pizza might be the most universally loved food in the world, but how good is your homemade pizza game?! We’re looking for chefs and creatives to whip up the best pizzas and raise money for Owenwood while doing it!
For this virtual fundraiser, you’ll create a GoFundMe account and raise $200 (or more!) as your “entry fee.” Teams will compete for the best pizza OR the most money fundraised!
Are you ready to be a pizza hero?
How to compete
Sign up to compete! You can go it alone or assemble a pizza team. The entry fee is $200, which you can make as a donation OR fundraise with the help of your family and friends.
Set up your GoFundMe account. This is how we will track “official” entries. You’ll need to raise $200 to compete, but if you raise more, we will have prizes for our top 3 biggest fundraisers! (Get step-by-step instructions here.)
Pick up your pizza goods on Friday, May 21 at our Pizza Kick-Off event! (Your ticket is free if you are competing!) You can also tour Owenwood when you pick up your packet!
Make your winning pizza! On Saturday, May 22 our team will stop by your house to try your pizza! We will rank the winners for:
Best Pizza Overall
Most Creative Pizza
Best Dessert Pizza
We will also announce prizes for the top 3 teams with the most money fundraised on their GoFundMe accounts!
