This week, Romeo’s Pizza Columbus announced a holiday toy drive and pizza deal in partnership with Cam Atkinson, right wing and alternate captain for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Now through Monday, Dec. 21, customers can bring a new, unwrapped toy to any of the 12 Romeo’s Pizza Central Ohio locations as part of the Cam-sanity Toy Drive for Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Customers donating in-person at a Romeo’s location will receive a $13 credit on their Romeo’s Rewards account. They also are eligible to win prizes from Atkinson, 614 Hockey and Romeo’s Pizza. Customers must donate in-person to qualify for the $13 credit and prize eligibility.
“I am so excited to team up with Romeo’s and spread some joy to the patients and staff at Nationwide Children’s Hospital this holiday season,” said Atkinson. “This year has been so tough for anyone involved in the medical field, so the opportunity to brighten the holidays of patients and healthcare heroes resonated with me.”
On Wednesday, Dec. 23, Atkinson will become “Cam the Elf” and deliver all donated toys to patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Romeo’s Pizza will also donate a free pizza party to the doctors and nurses on staff.
To complement the toy drive, Romeo’s Pizza also has an online-only 13 Days of Christmas promotional deal running through Dec. 21 where customers can get a large, three-topping pizza for $13 with promo code CA13. With this code, every toy donation amounts to a free, large, three-topping pizza.
Customers are encouraged to post photos of themselves, their pizza and their toy donations on social media tagging @CamAtkinson13 and @romeospizzacbus with the hashtags #CamTheElf and #PizzaFam. Atkinson and Romeo’s Pizza will reshare tagged posts on their social media channels.
