Papa’s Pizza fundraiser to benefit Relay For Life on May 19
Dining at Papa’s Pizza on May 19 can send half the bill to Relay For Life, as long as you bring the fundraiser flyer.
Eating at Papa’s Pizza on Tuesday, May 19, can turn an ordinary lunch or dinner into cancer-fundraising dollars for Relay For Life of Eugene-Springfield. The restaurant will donate 50% of eligible purchases tied to the fundraiser, and customers can also buy Fundraiser Bucks, which send 25% of the purchase value to the American Cancer Society effort.
The fundraiser runs all day at the West 11th Avenue, Coburg Road and Springfield Papa’s Pizza locations. The flyer for the promotion says diners must present it for the sale to count, and it excludes beverages and delivery orders. Papa’s Pizza says the chain operates in Eugene, Springfield and Corvallis, giving Lane County customers multiple easy stops if they want to take part.
Relay For Life of Eugene-Springfield has a larger calendar ahead, with its main 2026 event set for Saturday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Pleasant Hill High School Track in Pleasant Hill. The local relay page lists Kristen Salladay as the event contact and marks the Papa’s Pizza day as one of several fundraising dates leading up to the summer event.
Relay For Life is volunteer-led and built around four signature pieces: celebrating cancer survivors, recognizing caregivers, the luminaria ceremony and a fight-back component. The American Cancer Society says those events bring communities together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and raise funds for advocacy, research and patient support.
The Eugene-Springfield relay has long been a familiar part of Lane County’s community calendar, with local reporting noting that the national program began in 1985. Support has also come from other local businesses, including Dutch Bros, which backed the cause with a separate Kick Cancer campaign in Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove and Junction City. For Lane County diners looking for a quick way to help, May 19 offers a simple route: eat at Papa’s Pizza, present the flyer and let a meal do some of the fundraising work.
