STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 26, 2023 // PRNewswire // - Riko's Pizza has announced a new partnership with Breast Cancer Alliance ("BCA"), a renowned non-profit organization dedicated to improving survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer. Riko's Pizza is a highly differentiated pizza franchise concept, famous for its super-thin-crust tavern-style pies, local neighborhood atmosphere, and extensive selection of craft drinks. Through this partnership, Riko's will leverage its growing platform to support both the fundraising and awareness efforts of BCA throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. These key support methods include:

"BCA is a wonderful organization with a critical mission and an impressive track record of success," said Rico Imbrogno, co-founder and CEO of Riko's Pizza. "Since our inception, we have worked hard to make Riko's a community-minded and socially responsible organization. We're always looking for impactful ways to support important causes, and BCA's approach aligns well with our vision for giving back. We are thrilled to have them as our partner for Breast Cancer Awareness month."
Founded in 1996, BCA invests in innovative breast cancer research, surgery fellowships, education, dignified regional support, and screening for the underserved. This will be the second year that Riko's has been involved with BCA to support the group's efforts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the first year where an official partnership was established.
"On behalf of everyone here at BCA, I want to thank Riko's Pizza for this partnership," said Yonni Wattenmaker, BCA's Executive Director. "Rico, Luigi, and the entire Riko's Pizza team have been great friends of BCA for years, helping to raise awareness and funding for our organization. We are excited to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month and take our collaborative efforts to the next level by launching an official partnership this October. I encourage everyone that lives in Fairfield County Connecticut, Long Island, and South Florida to come out to Riko's on Tuesdays in October for amazing pizza that supports a great cause!"
