Ultimate Bake Sale with Papa John’s

Here is how the fundraiser works and it’s simple:

Parents, teachers, staff and supporters use the promo code SPS10 when ordering from Papa John’s online. This code gives the customer 10% off their order and also tracks the total so they can donate an additional 10% back to Springfield Public Schools.   The “Ultimate Bake Sale” starts on December 1 and will continue until the end of the school year.  There is no limit to the number of pizza’s you can order!  We’ll keep you posted on the progress as you help us raise money to support the students and staff of our schools.

Order today at www.papajohns.com
