Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes on Nash Road in Scott City, Mo. recently presented a $684 check to support the AED’s for Students Fund. The money was raised during an Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes fundraising day hosted July 27. Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes Manager Jeni Powers presented the donation to Mike Rhymer who is raising money to purchase eight AED’s (automated external defibrillators), which will be provided to local Scott City schools.
The donation equaled 10% of Imo’s Pizza purchases made at the Scott City Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes located at I-55 Exit 91, including gift cards. The fundraiser’s earning potential was not limited to only a few hours of operation or just customers that mentioned the cause upon ordering. Rather, Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes allowed the cause to benefit from all purchases made the entire day. Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes helped Mr. Rhymer publicize the fundraiser by providing fliers to share throughout the community and social media content.
“We are making fundraising events easy and accessible to local schools and organizations. It’s our way of thanking communities that have welcomed and supported our businesses (Imo’s Pizza and Rhodes),” said Brent Anderson, Rhodes’ Vice President of Business Development at Operations. “We look forward to serving the Scott City community for years to come.”
Imo’s Pizza at Rhodes invites any interested school or organization to book a 10% fundraising day with its company or presell Imo’s Pizza frozen pizzas. Interested schools should contact General Manager Jeni Powers at (573) 334-7694 for details.
