Two women hug two children

Connor’s Heroes hosted our annual Make Your Own Pizza Party with childhood cancer hero families. The event is so popular, we needed two days. We hosted it on Saturday and Sunday. 40 families came ready to make their own pizza pies.

The Pizza Party is a chance for childhood cancer hero families to be together and have fun. Families picked out their favorite toppings – from pepperoni to pineapple, cheese to veggies – and created their pizza masterpieces! They walked them over to Mellow Mushroom’s big brick oven and then… Incredibile, è ora di mangiare la pizza!! (Thank you Google Translate)

A big thank you to Susan and the team at Mellow Mushroom. Susan donates the pizzas, staff, and venue because she cares so much about the hero families. Looking at the photos, you can see how much the kids enjoyed being Pizza Chefs. For the parents, the party is a chance to do something fun together as a family.
