Flancer’s Annual Pizza eating contest raises funds and awareness for charities

flancer's pizza eating contestIn the 15th consecutive year of doing their part to spread goodwill to those who need it most, Flancer’s Restaurant is no stranger to giving back to the community.

Since its startup, Flancer’s has helped raise and donate more than $234,000 in cash donations to charities. In April, the restaurant will be contributing to the Sunshine Acres Children’s Home, Jewish Family and Children’s Service (Max Flancer Fund), and WarFighter Sports. Tragically, last year, owner Jeff Flancer lost his beloved 15-year-old son, Max, and will continue to build funds to help other teens and parents in need of support and resources.

There are two events in which the community can take part, during the month of April, to rally around these causes. Visit either Flancer’s Gourmet Grub, in Mesa or Gilbert, to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of six prizes valued up to $1,000.

Another way to help is by attending the fun and lighthearted Cigar and Craft Beer Event, at Fox Cigar Bar, in Gilbert, on Thursday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. Flancer’s will provide the food, and there will be plenty of Perdomo cigars to enjoy, as well as cold craft beers from Four Peaks. Everything is included for only $30. To register for the event, call Flancer’s at (480) 926-9077.

For those with a hearty appetite and the ability to enjoy doing something offbeat, they can give back to the community by signing up to compete in Flancer’s all-you-can-eat pizza contest on Sunday, April 12. Registration begins at 10:15 a.m., and the feasting ensues at 11 a.m. The first prize winner will receive a $250 cash prize, a large trophy and will be crowned by the reigning Miss Arizona. For $25, contestants will receive a limited edition T-shirt. The fee also will include pizza and a drink to help wolf it down. The winner is whoever is the first to eat two 16-inch cheese pizzas.

“In this wonderful world, where so many magical and beautiful things happen, there also is desperation and hopelessness,” Jeff said. “If we can assist, and make the lives of people improved, through different ways of intervention, then, this is where good triumphs over evil.”

To learn more about the beneficiaries of the donations, visit www.sunshineacres.org, www.jfcsaz.org, or www.warfightersports.org.

Flancer’s Gourmet Grub Gilbert location is at 610 N. Gilbert Road. Call (480) 926-9077. The Mesa location is at 1902 N. Higley Road. Call (480) 396-0077.
