Great Pizza Bake-off At Avon High School

/ northcoastrotary

What a night!  Superintendent Ben Hodge observed, “there was a steady flow of guests” keeping the check-in table busy.  In total, over 300 people joined Rotarians at Avon High School cafeteria to enjoy delicious pizza and vote for their favorites. 

For this fundraiser, North Coast Rotary partnered with The Hope for B.E.S.T., Lori Yeager, who will receive a portion of the proceeds. 

In demand was the Lorain County Community College FabCab mini-makerspace, thanks to FabLab Team Lead Ryan Corrigan and Rotarian Cindy Kushner. 

Once the votes were counted, Rotarians Doug Maurer and Becki Russell handed out the awards: Dirte Pi won Best Pepperoni and Marco’s won Best Specialty pizza.  Our mystery sampler selected Marco’s to receive the Pro’s Choice award. For the second time in North Coast Rotary’s Great Pizza Bake-off history, the Peoples’ Choice Award was tied between Marco’s and Master Pizza. 

A big shout-out to Avon Local Schools, our guests, participating pizzerias, Rotary’s youth group Interact and the sponsors of North Coast Rotary.

The money raised from this fundraiser will go towards youth and community initiatives in our local area.

Sample pizza, vote for your favorites and support Rotary! Vendors include: Cafe’ Piccolo, Domino’s, Marco’s, Master, Neechi’s, Pizza Hut and D’Tutanelli’s. Desserts courtesy of Peace, Love and Little Donuts.

North Coast Rotary will also have, on-hand, a collection trailer that is used for collecting used medical equipment and supplies. The equipment and supplies collected are ultimately sent to needy countries throughout the world. As an example, if you have an old walker, or a pair of crutches, or even the likes of a no-longer used knee or ankle brace, please bring them to the Pizza Bake-Off. You will be doing a great service and you’ll likely clear something out of your closet that you’ve been meaning to get rid of anyways. Additionally, if you have something too large, to be dropped off (i.e. a hospital bed), alternate arrangements can be made to have the medical equipment picked up from your residence.

Avon Pizza Fundraiser success!
