Former Miami Dolphin and radio host Channing Crowder shares positive back-to-school message
Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza recently teamed up with former Miami Dolphin and radio personality Channing Crowder to host a back-to-school pizza party at its Davie restaurant for youth from the Nan Knox Boys & Girls Club, following their attendance at a Miami Dolphins open practice.
Along with build-your-own pizzas, drinks and signature S’more Pies, Boys & Girls Club members got a back-to-school pep talk from Crowder, who urged the students to work hard in school this year. Blaze sent the students off with filled backpacks to help them start the school year with needed supplies.
“Blaze Pizza is proud to once again partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward to offer club members a fun-filled experience to help kick-start their school year,” said Adam Cummis, president of the South Florida Blaze Pizza franchise group. “The youth look up to Channing Crowder, and we appreciate him taking time to share positive messages about working hard in school that we know will stay with them.”
Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza is the nation’s leading fast-casual pizza concept, part-owned by LeBron James and known for its chef-driven menu and casually hip restaurants, with five South Florida locations in Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Royal Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, and coming soon to West Kendall, West Boca Raton and Jupiter.
