Pizza Hut

Since 2016, First Book and Pizza Hut partnered with the goal of increasing access to books and educational resources, empowering teachers, and inspiring readers Pizza Hut restaurants helped garner funds to support educators in the First Book Network within a 25-mile radius, making them the beneficiaries of in-store fundraising efforts. In 2018, Pizza Hut launched the Book IT! Bundle, an initiative aimed at engaging customers and expanding their commitment to getting more books into the hands of kids who need them the most. Together, we have transformed previously cost-prohibitive hardcover titles into special edition paperbacks, greatly increasing accessibility and affordability for educators who otherwise could not acquire them in large quantities.

Image of a young girl, smiling at the camera. There is text on the left side of the image, against a blue background, that says, "Matching Challenge: Be a Champion for Educators! Every day, dedicated teachers pour their hearts into classrooms with too few resources to help eager minds learn. Your gift by May 31 will be DOUBLED to bring joy through new books that ignite imagination and transform young lives. Will you be their champion today?" Beneath the image is a red button that says, "I'll give now".
