Charity starts at home

...at least we seem to think so at PizzaExpress. A big part of our mission goes beyond serving the best Italian pizza in Hong Kong, we also believe it is our corporate responsibility to support local and regional charities. Since 2001 PizzaExpress has supported Sedan Chair Race Charities Fund, who distributes their donations to needy local charities, by collecting money on behalf of customers who order the Four Seasons Pizza. Whenever a customer orders the Four Seasons Pizza $5 is donated on their behalf to the SCRC Fund. Over the past years the total has amounted to more than $240,000. This scheme has proven so successful that in 2002 we reached out to help the Chi Heng Foundation, a group that sponsors the education of children in China that have been orphaned by AIDS. When customers order the Peking Duck pizza $5 is donated on their behalf. So far, from this effort we have managed to raise $250,000.

PizzaExpress Pink Birthday

October marks the 8th anniversary of the opening of our first restaurant in Hong Kong. We have decided to celebrate our birthday month by participating in the Hong Kong Cancer Fund's Pink Revolution.

Apart from donating $8 from every sales of our 8th Anniversary Set Menu, we also donating all of the proceeds from all of our restaurants to Hong Kong Cancer Fund on 10th Oct. To add more joy to our birthday, we are delighted to have Mrs. Sally Lo, Chairman of Hong Kong Cancer Fund to join with our 64 kids members and their family to make a giant 8-shaped birthday pizza to celebrate our 8th birthday!! In total, we raised over HK$300,000!

Help rebuild homes in Suchuan

One year on from the devastating earthquake in Sichuan, thousands of people are still living in temporary shelters without clean drinking water, electricity or passable roads. SCMP Homes for Hope is a charity programme making a vital contribution to the reconstruction efforts these people need.

Throughout May $5 dollars will be added to your bill* to support of the SCMP Homes for Hope Project. In addition PizzaExpress will match your $5 with a further $5 from us.

The Sedan Chair Charities Fund was established to raise money for needy charities in Hong Kong, many of which are dedicated to improving the welfare of Hong Kong's young people. The charitable organizations which are supported generally do not receive assistance from the main fundraising bodies like Community Chest, Hong Kong Jockey Club or the Government and are reliant on the continuous efforts from the SCCF.
