<div>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…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The 365 Pizza Slice Challenge!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current slice count: 350</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Slices left: 15</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Days left: 5</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Community Refugee &amp; Immigration Services (CRIS)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CRIS' mission is to help refugees and immigrants reach safety and stability, sustain self-sufficiency, and achieve successful integration into the Central Ohio community.<em> </em>They provide services including but not limited to
</div>
<ul>
<li>English classes
</li>
<li>employment training and placement
</li>
<li>health and wellness groups
</li>
<li>youth mentorship
</li>
<li>family support
</li>
<li>advocacy for victims of crime
</li>
<li>legal services
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>[EDIT] We hit our goal so fast, that I'll match up to $2000 to keep the hype going!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love and Pizza,
</div>
<div>Matt
