For each pizza purchased, $2 will be donated to SickKids Hospital. If all 150 Domino’s stores in Southern Ontario participate, the goal is to donate $300,000 to this worthy children’s charity. Local store owner Rob Hiltz says that although Domino’s corporate will run the promotion from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., he plans to offer the $5 special from open until close, or “until he runs out of pizza”.
