Do you eat the crust on your pizza? Or do you give it to someone else? Or just toss it? I used to give mine away but I eat them now.

Pizza (drawing) Party

We hosted a pizza (drawing) party at Mt Caz at the end of July to support Project Pizza -- friends of ours who do art endurance events to raise money for non-profits working to fight hunger. They were planning an event wherein they would try to draw 500 pizzas in a day! And any contributions / drawings made ahead of time would help them to meet their goal.

So we got to drawing and eating...

In a couple hours, we made and sent in 30 pizza drawings for the cause. I can only imagine how Project Pizza was able to make their goal, but they did! They drew 368 pizzas during their 12-hour marathon (that’s a drawing every 1.9 minutes!) and sold 456 pizza drawings all-told, which means...

They raised $4510 for Food Forward, which will help make sure that 49,610 pounds of fresh produce will get to people in the Los Angeles community who need it.

As Shing Yin Khor says, that’s 248 baby elephants of poundage worth of fresh produce!
