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.
