(Warren, Ohio, USA / September 2, 2008) � Pizza Works, a small chain of pizzerias in Warren and Hubbard, Ohio, will host their first ever pizza eating contest on Sunday, September 14, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. at their Howland location, 7091 East Market Street in Warren, Ohio. All proceeds will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Contestants of all ages are invited to compete and win great prizes. Competition is divided into three age groups: 12 years and younger, 13-20 years, and 21 and up. Prizes range from $25 and a three-month supply of free pizza, to $200 and an entire year�s supply of free pizza.
Bill and Shannon Siwicki, co-owners of Pizza Works, want to support the society and its goal to find a cure for blood cancers. Shannon�s employer has an 8-year-old son, Mikey Dianetti, who was diagnosed with childhood leukemia just days before his 4th birthday. He has since undergone many treatments and completed three years of chemotherapy. �Today Mikey is doing great, thanks in part to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the research they help fund,� said Shannon. �I�ve participated in my company�s Light the Night Walk Team, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society�s annual fundraiser, for the past three years, and this year I�m co-captain. My husband and I now want to raise funds in an even bigger and tastier way.�
Shannon�s employer, Radcom, Inc., is assisting with the event. Bob Dianetti, president of Radcom said, �Shannon and Bill have been huge supporters of my son through his treatments and the great work of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In addition, one of our employees was recently diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. The employee is responding well to treatment and her long-term prognosis is quite good, largely because of research supported by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. So our whole company is dedicated to making this event a success.�
It�s unknown how much pizza the Siwickis and Dianettis can consume in one sitting, but they�d like area residents to see how much they can eat on Sunday, September 14, at 1:30 p.m. at the Howland Pizza Works.
