Domino's® is Plowing for Pizza: Snowy Roads Shouldn't Get in the Way of Hot Pizza

Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, believes nothing should stand in the way of carrying out a hot delicious pizza, including snowy, cold weather. That's why we're going above and beyond for pizza lovers, by awarding half a million dollars in grants for snow plowing, so that carryout customers can have access to hot pizza, even on the coldest, snowiest days. Nominations open up today for up to 20 cities to get $25,000 in snow plowing grants, all in the name of ensuring that hot pizzas are accessible for carryout customers this winter.  "At Domino's we've made delivery cars with warming ovens built in, paved roads to get your pizza home hot and in perfect condition, and offered pizza insurance for when anything goes awry," said Joe Jordan, Domino's president of U.S. and global services. "To us, nothing should stand in the way of getting a delicious pizza, including snowy, cold weather. So yes—you heard it right: a pizza company is actually helping to plow roads."

Customers can visit Plowingforpizza.com to submit the zip code of their hometown for a grant. The nomination period is open from Dec. 4, 2023, - Jan. 21, 2024, and is limited to one submission per email address. Domino's will name selected towns on a rolling basis throughout the program to make sure grants are awarded during the winter season; towns chosen will be announced as soon as mid-January.

Domino's has already worked alongside three municipalities to help their plowing efforts this winter season, including Erie, PA; Marquette, MI and Manhattan, MT. Twenty communities that accept their award will not only get funds to pay for clearing snow on wintry days, they will also get a winter-themed Domino's Plowing for Pizza kit, including winter hats, scarves, snow measuring stick and sign, vehicle magnets and other themed items, including $200 in Domino's gift cards, so plow drivers can warm up with hot pizza after a cold, hard day of work.  The chosen municipalities will be listed on the Plowing for Pizza website, which will also feature images and footage from the plowing locations.

Nomination period ends 1/21/24 or when all available Funds have been claimed. Must be 13+ years of age to make a nomination; eligible minors should have parental consent to participate. Limit one (1) nomination per person, per email address. Void where prohibited by law. For full details, see Terms: https://claim.dominosplowingforpizzaprogram.com/terms.

 

65 Years Later, Brenda Lee’s ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ Soars to No. 1

This week's No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 is one you've probably heard before — over and over again. For decades. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"— sung by Brenda Lee, and first released 65 years ago, during the Eisenhower administration — has gone to No. 1 on the singles chart, for the first time ever.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" was written by Johnny Marks — who, as part of a long, great tradition of American Christmas songwriters, was himself actually Jewish. (Marks also wrote "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas.") Lee recorded the song when she was just 13 years old, not long after she signed a contract with Decca Records.

 

Taylor Swift At Lambeau Field To Cheer On Travis Kelce in Chiefs-Packers Game

Pop superstar Taylor Swift is in attendance for the 'Sunday Night Football' game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers in support of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift was spotted entering Lambeau Field alongside Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Sunday (December 3) night in a video shared by ESPN's Jeff Darlington, who had previously reported that Lambeau Field security were anticipating her attendance.

Swift had previously attended four of Kelce's games between September and November -- all of which were won by the Chiefs -- since initially being spotted in a luxury box at Arrowhead Stadium in September. A source with knowledge of the situation told Us Weekly that Swift reportedly flew back to Kansas City to be with Kelce following the conclusion of her 'Eras Tour' concerts in Brazil last Monday (November 27) before attending the premiere of Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' film in London later in the week.

 

Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (Mix614 Columbus News) - Yes, he still very much is a mean one. The Grinch, that is.

Authorities in Summit County took time during their Christmas with a Cop event Saturday morning to spread Christmas cheer and jolly laughter.

Their attempt at a humor included deputies arresting the protagonist from the 1966 holiday classic.

A Facebook Post from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said the department was ‘alarmed’ by the Mount Crumpit resident’s actions

We’re very alarmed to announce that a theft occurred at this morning’s Christmas With a Cop. Fortunately, an arrest was made immediately. He was a mean one…

The Grinch’s trusty canine companion, Max, did not have any role to play in the crime, but a couple of Summit County K-9 officers had roles to play in the arrest. A court date for the bad banana with a greasy black peel has not been set.

A road sign in one Florida town left heads turning.

A road sign in Apopka, FL has removed after it was filmed displaying an odd message earlier this week, according to county officials.

Video shows the sign displaying a series of messages near the intersection of North Lake Pleasant Road and Lake Alma Drive. Those messages played in order as follows:

• “NEXT RIGHT”
• “HEMLOCK CLOSED”
• “TAKE DETOR” (sic)
• “ALSO BIG BOOTY LATINAS”

 40 years ago today on December 2, 1983 Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video premiered on MTV along with the “Making Michael Jackson’s Thriller” special which was a behind the scenes documentary. The 13:42 Thriller video would go into regular rotation on MTV and would instantly double the sales of the album “Thriller” helping it become the best selling album of all time…..

  AstroSouth Carolina twin brothers to walk 600 miles, raise awareness of kids in foster care

Davon and Tavon Wood were born in Sumter and put in the foster care system before being adopted at age two. Now, they're raising awareness

 A set of twins are starting a 31-day walk in Sumter and planning to go to Philadelphia.

The Woods twins were born in Sumter, where they're starting their 600-mile journey to raise awareness about kids in the foster care system through their movement #FosterKidsMatter.

"Foster care to me, it isn't a topic that's talked about enough," Davon Woods said.

"It's simply just to raise awareness," his brother Tavon said. "That's all we ever wanted to do, to share our story and share stories of other kids that went through foster care. So that's all it is, raising awareness for kids in foster care."

The Woods brothers tell me they were placed in the foster care system immediately after being born at Sumter's Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital and were adopted at two years old.

"We didn't hear anything about foster care growing up, you know, so that kind of motivated us to be like, wow, like, you know, I understand there's a lot of advocates out there around the world, but it's like doing what we do is from a different, a different view because now kids have people that they feel as though they can relate to because we live in we walked in their shoes, and a lot of our stories are pretty much similar," Davon said.

"So that's why we kind of do what we do to give kids a voice because there's so much kids in the system feel like they don't have a voice or 'I'm afraid to speak out," Tavon said. "So that's what we do. We do the hard part; we do the speaking out, just so that we can shine a light on that system."

To draw attention to their own story and the experiences of kids living in the foster care system, they're planning to walk from the Sumter County Courthouse to Philadelphia carrying one backpack each and wearing a pair of Hoka shoes donated to them.

They've walked through different states before but say their furthest walk was a 96-mile trip from Georgia to Florida.

"Just mentally, it just is very hard just to be able to push, and we do 20-plus miles a day. So to be able to… that's walking eight hours straight," Tavon said. "And that - it's hard, but you know we find the strength to continue to keep going."

"It's amazing just to know that you know the impact that we set to do is coming to pass and just to know that we have the support of the city is amazing," Tavon adds about the community support.

The walk will not only be a way for the brothers to raise awareness about foster care, they tell me, but it's also a way to further strengthen their bond, which the brothers say is "unbreakable."

"It's not by coincidence that God allowed us to be twins because, you know, we - it's just basically like we was built for everything that we went through," Davon said. "So, it's definitely a blessing to not just have a person that looked like me, but somebody that almost, you know we almost think alike in certain situations, so it is definitely a blessing and on these walks, it just makes us stronger, because we just be talking and just talking and talking about everything that we experienced and how everything is happening now for us."

Sumter residents will send off the brothers as they start their journey tomorrow at 8 a.m. at the Sumter County Courthouse. To follow your journey, you can visit their website at FKM.Life.
