Flancer’s will hold its 18th annual Charity Pizza-Eating Contest at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 8, at its Gilbert location, wrapping up the restaurant’s annual fundraiser for Warfighter Sports, Sunshine Acres Children’s Home, and Jewish Family & Children’s Services.
There’s still time to enter. The contest traditionally draws a few serious contestants, but most just want to have some fun and support a great cause. The public also is invited to watch.
Entry fee is $25. The first contestant to eat two large cheese pizzas will win a $100 Flancer’s gift card and be crowned by Miss Arizona. All contestants get a free T-shirt.
To enter or get more info, call 480-926-9077.
Sunday also is the last chance to bid on six prizes in the charity silent auction:
