Pizza Wars to Be Held Tonight

Pizza Wars to Be Held Tonight

Pizza Wars will be held Thursday, Jan. 15 in Niles North High School at 6 PM. The night will end around 9 PM; however, the pizza tasting will end at 7:15 PM.

Dance Marathon representative Lauren Flahive explains the importance of the night.

“Pizza wars are a fundraiser for the D219 Foundation, which is responsible for funding local students in need from North and West,” Flahive said.

Dance Marathon executive and senior, Rita Carmona seems excited for the night.

“I love pizza wars. I didn’t know what it was when I started here, I thought it was gonna be some really expensive thing or you barely got any pizza, but it’s definitely not that. You get pizza from so many different restaurants and get to eat a lot. This year ‘Nothing Bundt Cakes’ is providing dessert so it’s gonna be a delicious night,” Carmona explained.

The money that is collected at Pizza Wars goes to both Dance Marathon and the D219 foundation board.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year and we [Dance Marathon] get thousands of dollars from it. They [D219 Foundation Board] use the money they raise to pay for free lunches and free music lessons and things like that.”

Tickets are $15 at the door and $12 in advance. To purchase tickets in advance, find a DM executive or email Ms. Moy or Mrs. Flahive.

If interested, all students are encouraged to be a part of Dance Marathon since it is not too late join.
