In celebration of our 40th anniversary, all month long, Minsky’s is giving away 15% to four local charities!

Minsky's 40th Anniversary

Mayor Sly with Minsky’s Prime Cut

One of the four organizations we’re especially honored to give back to is Turn The Page KC, a not-for-profit founded by Kansas City, Missouri Mayor Sly James.

The mission of Turn the Page KC is to mobilize the community to achieve reading proficiency at grade level or above for all third graders in Kansas City, Missouri. Research has shown that children who can read at their grade level by third grade, are more successful in life.

“Through our collaborative initiatives, Turn the Page KC has raised awareness and the collective will to understand the urgency of our City’s 3rd grade reading crisis,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James, Chairman of Turn the Page KC’s Board of Directors. “Our partnerships have allowed us to provide many professionals working with our children the additional tools they need to help close the educational achievement gap.”

Founded in 2011 by Mayor James, Turn the Page was created as an initiative to raise the reading proficiency of third graders – which at the time was only 33%. As word about the organization spread, volunteer and community organizations began to rally around this mission. In 2015, test scores showed that 3rd grade reading proficiency in Kansas City had increased to 49% – and appears to be on the rise even more since then.

“Students unable to read well in fourth grade begin to struggle with every subject, and many never graduate from high school. This is not fair to our kids or our community. I work at Turn the page KC because I know that we can do better,” said Mike English, Turn the Page KC’s Executive Director.

From Friday, April 29th through Tuesday, May 31st, Minsky’s Pizza will donate 15% of customers’ in-store and online orders to Turn the Page KC when the customer selects Turn the Page as a beneficiary. And, if Turn the Page raises more that the other three “4 for 40” charities during the promotional period, Minsky’s will double their final donation!

The 15% donation is activated one of two ways:

  1. The customer presents a printed out “4 for 40” coupon in-store (click here to print).
  2. Ordering online at Minskys.com. Enter code TTP15 at checkout!

Minsky's 40th AnniversaryAs a special thank you to the customers who help support this worthy cause, Minsky’s will take 5% off all online and in-store orders for customers who use one of the “4 for 40” coupons or online ordering codes!
