Flancer’s Gourmet Grub restaurants recently concluded a fund-raising event, bringing in more than $30,300 for three deserving charities.
The charities benefitting from Flancer’s efforts are:
- Warfighter Sports, helping injured vets—disabledsportsusa.org/programs/warfighter-sports/.
- Sunshine Acres Children’s Home—sunshineacres.org.
- Jewish Family and Children’s Services—jfcsaz.org.
The event featured a raffle and other donation opportunities. The highlight was a pizza-eating contest. Mirza Selmic ate two large cheese pizzas in 14 minutes and 25 seconds. The reigning Miss Arizona, Katlin Niemiec, crowned Mirza as the contest winner.
“We are so thrilled to be able to have done this in support of our community to help people desperately in need of aid,” said owner and chef Jeff Flancer. “I must send a big thank you to our sponsors, staff and customers. These good people helped make this all possible.”
