DESCRIPTION:Naked Pizza starts by having a healthy and delicious product 
 with a mission\, an audience\, and the capacity to reach it. Sprinkle in
  some point-of-sale technology\, add a dash of process\, and\, voila -- 
 you have an idea.What is it?&nbsp\; We are going to empower motivated\, 
 high-minded people who are faced with the very real challenge of raising
  money for a cause.&nbsp\; Who does this include?&nbsp\; Anyone running 
 the Boston Marathon for a group.&nbsp\; A high school tennis team.&nbsp\
 ; A public radio station trying to provide great programming for its mem
 bers.&nbsp\; A synagogue that is trying to provide services to its congr
 egants.&nbsp\; An individual raising money for a summer learning trip.Fo
 r these folks\, Naked Pizza provides a special code and a lot of help ge
 tting the word out.&nbsp\; Anyone who uses the person's code has 10% of 
 their order go toward the Ambassador&rsquo\;s organization. In addition\
 , on nights when we don&rsquo\;t run specials (Wednesday through Saturda
 y before 9pm currently)\, the customer also gets 10% off their order.&nb
 sp\; We know from experience that marketing is the key to making these k
 inds of programs successful.&nbsp\; So\, Naked Pizza helps with that any
  way we can.&nbsp\; We&rsquo\;ll schedule an event where Ambassadors can
  bring as many people as they like into our shop for a pizza-tasting par
 ty\, all at a fixed price\, with profits donated to their cause.&nbsp\; 
 We can send emails on our Ambassadors' behalf\, provide them with all th
 e materials they need about our menu and delivery areas\, and happily pr
 omote their names and their cause.Our first Community Ambassador (yes\, 
 we know\, we need a better name for the program) is Allison Pelle.&nbsp\
 ; She works at CBS Radio and is raising money for the Avon Walk for Brea
 st Cancer in mid-May.&nbsp\; Allison says\, &ldquo\;Our family and frien
 ds have been touched by breast cancer. Since it runs in our family\, we 
 know it probably won't be the last time\, so while we're young and healt
 hy\, we want to do something about it. The biggest challenge will be wal
 king 39 miles in two days\, but right now we've got to raise the money i
 n order to be able to participate. We appreciate Naked Pizza's support a
 nd everyone I meet along the way will be a special part of my journey!&r
 dquo\;Allison's code is &ldquo\;ALLYAVONWALKS&rdquo\;.&nbsp\; Every time
  you order and use her code\, she&rsquo\;ll get 10% of the overall cost 
 of your order donated to her efforts of raising $1800 for the Avon Walk.
 &nbsp\;&nbsp\; You can help Allison out even further than using her code
  by spreading the word by tweeting about it or tagging us in a Facebook 
 post that will get your friends involved as well. Thanks.Why are we doin
 g this?&nbsp\; Well\, in a purely tactical sense\, it helps sell pizza.&
 nbsp\; (Sorry\, we are unashamedly pro-profit\; you won&rsquo\;t save th
 e whales if you can&rsquo\;t afford the boat.)&nbsp\; From a marketing p
 erspective\, empowering an army is more efficient than sending out a ton
  of direct mail.&nbsp\; Believe us\, we&rsquo\;ve tried\, and all we can
  say is -- never again.&nbsp\; But it's more than just that. We think it
 &rsquo\;s really important for a brand to be defined by how it interacts
  with its community.&nbsp\; This means the company it keeps\, the causes
  it affiliates with\, and how it chooses to build its following.&nbsp\; 
 Ours is a competitive business\, and our edge is that we offer a healthy
 \, delicious\, and fun product that comes with an offbeat culture to mat
 ch.&nbsp\; We try to express that in the attitude in our store and throu
 gh our community interaction as well.Wish Ally luck\, and\, if you can\,
  please help her reach her goal.&nbsp\; We&rsquo\;ll be announcing new p
 rogram participants in the coming weeks\, and plan to open this program 
 very soon to the wider community at large.
