Papa John’s continues to ‘Drum Up A Deal’ during

Marshall-Southern Miss game Nov. 8

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – In an effort to continue fundraising for Marshall scholarships, the Marshall University Alumni Association will partner again with local Papa John’s locations to raise scholarship funds through a second “Drum Up A Deal” event on Tuesday, Nov. 8. This date coincides with the Marshall-Southern Mississippi football game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.

For every pizza sold, five Tri-State area Papa John’s stores will donate 20 percent of their sales above average sales towards scholarships for Marshall students.

“While we were able to raise more than $500, we want to do more for Marshall,” said David Riggs, general manager with Papa John’s. “Weekday games are perfect for pizza, so we’re hopeful that Thundering Herd fans will take advantage of this opportunity.”

Participating Papa John’s locations include:

Portsmouth, OH

(740) 353-5901

Ashland, KY

(606) 325-7676

Huntington, WV
