CM PUNK, PIECE CHICAGO HELP RAISE OVER $51K IN HONOR OF LARRY THE DOG FOR PAWS CHICAGO

The following was announced by Piece Chcago:

"When we bring a pet into our lives, we sign a contract to have our heart broken at the end of their life. It’s happened to me, time and time again. It happened to @CMPunk, Chicago native and WWE Champion, in December when he lost his beloved dog, Larry.

Following his loss, CM Punk honored Larry’s memory by joining our Slice to Meet You campaign for @pawschicago to help save more pets in his honor while supporting the Midwest’s largest No Kill shelter. “The Larry” pizza, which Punk created, was available at Piece from January 8 through February 7. When customers bought this $35 pizza, $70 was donated to PAWS Chicago, thanks to a $10 donation from Piece and $60 from six matching donors, of which I am honored to be one.

Punk shared The Larry across his platform with passion, raising critical funds and further amplifying PAWS Chicago’s lifesaving work, which saves nearly 5,000 homeless dogs and cats every year.

Thanks to CM Punk’s commitment, Piece sold 730 of Larry’s pizza, resulting in an incredible $51,100 raised for PAWS.

Thank you, CM Punk. You’ve helped give so many deserving pets the chance to live and bring joy to the lives they touch. You are our champion.

Thanks to our amazing group of matching donors: Alison & Sean Fogarty, Laura Desmond, Leonard Goodman, Joe Mansueto, and Kristin K-Mac MacGregor.

And to you, our loyal customer, thank you for your support.

Bill"
