17th annual campaign brings back pink pizza boxes, a mobile mammogram event, and donations to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.®
MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hungry Howie's, the originator of Flavored Crust® pizza, is bringing back its pink pizza boxes for the 17th year in a row, marking the return of its annual Love, Hope & Pizza campaign benefiting National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (NBCF).
Running now through October 30, Hungry Howie's locations nationwide are swapping their standard boxes for pink ones, a visual reminder of the brand's long-standing commitment to breast cancer awareness. A portion of proceeds from every pizza sold during the campaign will go directly to NBCF to help fund free mammograms and early detection programs nationwide, and customers can also round up their bill at checkout.
Alongside the campaign, Hungry Howie's is hosting a mobile mammogram event at SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic, in partnership with the Henry Ford Mobile Mammogram Unit. Now in its third year, and its second consecutive year held at the clinic, the event provides free mammograms directly to local women. Of the 36 women screened last year, one needed additional treatment. That care was covered by SAY Detroit Family Clinic, serving as a tangible reminder of what early detection access can mean.
While October is widely recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Hungry Howie's support doesn't stop when the month ends. Its year-round round-up donation program continues raising funds for NBCF long after the pink boxes come down, a reflection of a commitment that extends well beyond a single campaign window.
"This campaign is a reminder that even something as simple as ordering pizza can make a real difference," said Steve Jackson, CEO of Hungry Howie's. "Between our year-round round-up donations, proceeds from pizza sales during the campaign, and local partnerships like the mobile mammogram event at SAY Detroit, we're giving back in more ways than people might realize. Seventeen years in, our franchisees and customers continue to show up for this cause, and that support is what keeps Love, Hope & Pizza going strong."
Since its launch in 2009, Love, Hope & Pizza has raised more than $5 million for NBCF, including more than $412,000 in 2025 alone, supporting critical initiatives in early detection, education and patient services.
"Breast cancer touches so many families, and it takes partners like Hungry Howie's to help us reach women who need support the most," said Kevin Hail, CEO at NBCF. "This partnership has directly funded critical programs, and we're thankful for everyone who picks up a pink pizza box this season."
