Pizza Crew has scored big for local children by investing £30K in supplying hundreds of kits for sports teams across Belfast, carryduff and Lisburn.
Pizza Crew is committed to supporting local as a way of giving back to the communities in which its stores are located, explained Ciaran Kelly, Pizza Crew founder.
He said: “Pizza Crew has championed initiatives that strengthen local communities. Giving back has always been a cornerstone of the business. We appreciate that people choose Pizza Crew and in return we support various groups including football and GAA teams across Belfast, Lisburn and Carryduff.”
Pizza Crew supplies kits for the Carryduff Colts, Carryduff GAC All Stars, St Teresa’s GAC, Holy Child School, Crew United, Ballymacash Rangers, Glendowen FC, Cliftonville FC, St Gerard’s School, Donegal Celtic and St Patrick’s GAC.
“The kids we supply kits for are so thankful. Their coaches tell us that as soon as they put the kits on, they feel like proper players as they run onto the field. That sort of feedback is priceless to us”, said Ciaran.
Claire McGoldrick, U14 Ladies Coach for Naomh Treasa, said: “As soon as the kids put their kits on it transforms them. They are always ready to take on their opponents and play with real purpose. The support from Pizza Crew allows us to focus on what we do best—training and encouraging young athletes.
“Pizza Crew’s support goes beyond just providing gear – it helps foster a sense of belonging and pride within the team, which makes all the difference when it comes to motivation and performance.”
Ciaran concluded: “Throughout the year we also provide vouchers as rewards for teams and players that do well on the field. We offer free pizza making classes at our Lisburn and Andersonstown Road stores and we’re always looking for opportunities to throw the kids a pizza party if they reach a milestone.”
