Hello, friends. As 2025 comes to an end, I’d like to share a goal that I’ve been pursuing since the beginning of the year. While some people track steps taken or miles run, days of unshorn facial hair, or minutes in a cold plunge, I’ve focused on a deeply held passion of mine…

The 365 Pizza Slice Challenge!

Now, I’ve always eaten a lot of pizza. And, what started as a simple question - “I wonder if I eat a slice of pizza per day, on average?” - turned into a tracking spreadsheet and shortly after into a full blown challenge!

And so, my friends, with five days left in the year, I’d like to include you on my journey to achieve a year of pizza! Join me over the next five days as I chronicle my progress and share some important pizza memories from the past year!

Current slice count: 350

Slices left: 15

Days left: 5

And to channel my dedication and persistence towards a good cause (as if pizza weren’t good enough), I am raising money for a local Central Ohio organization that is very important to me.

Community Refugee & Immigration Services (CRIS)

CRIS' mission is to help refugees and immigrants reach safety and stability, sustain self-sufficiency, and achieve successful integration into the Central Ohio community. They provide services including but not limited to

My goal over the next five days is to raise $1000. Please help me achieve this goal by donating to this very important cause and I will match up to $1000 on Jan 1st, 2026!

[EDIT] We hit our goal so fast, that I'll match up to $2000 to keep the hype going!

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.

Thank you!

Love and Pizza,

Matt
