100% of the funds raised will support Komen's research, education, and community support efforts
STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riko's Pizza ("Riko's" or the "Company"), a fast-growing pizza restaurant and bar franchise known for its thin-crust, tavern-style pies, today announced the successful completion of its fundraising initiative in partnership with Susan G. Komen®, resulting in a donation of $10,000 to support breast cancer research, patient services, and advocacy efforts.
Throughout October, 10 Riko's Pizza locations invited guests to participate in the activation by offering several donation options at checkout. Customers had the option to round up their bill or donate a larger amount to receive a co-branded Riko's x Komen sticker or a breast cancer awareness bracelet.
"Riko's Pizza is all about family, community, and giving back," said Rico Imbrogno, Founder and CEO. "When we have the opportunity to use our platform to make a meaningful impact, we're all in. Fortunately, our rockstar clientele is also dedicated to the same values. On behalf of the entire Riko's team, I would like to thank every guest who donated to our campaign this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Whether you or someone you love has been affected by breast cancer, we stand with you, and we're proud to stand with Susan G. Komen in the fight."
The funds raised will directly support Susan G. Komen's mission to save lives and create a world without breast cancer. These funds will be invested in breakthrough research, education, community health programs, and support for those impacted by the disease, bringing us one step closer to our goal.
"The generous donation from Riko's will allow Komen to meet the needs of patients and continue our efforts to make breast health care more affordable and accessible to all," said Nicole Marohn, executive director of Susan G. Komen New England. "We appreciate everyone who donated to this partnership and their support of the mission of Susan G. Komen."
