Fast-casual concept Blaze Pizza has announced its Back to School campaign, according to a press release.

"Supporting teachers, students and families is at the center of Blaze Pizza's commitment to our local communities," Mandy Shaw, CEO of Blaze Pizza, said in the release. "We take pride in our philanthropic efforts and are proud to launch our Back to School campaign as a way of saying 'thank you' to all those involved in the education of our youth — a cause that is so important to the Blaze Pizza family."

Blaze will increase its fundraising donation commitment by 5% on top of what is normally donated for fundraising events throughout the month of September.

Also, throughout the month of September, teachers, faculty and school staff who show their school identification in-store will receive a free cheesy bread bundle with the purchase of any 11-inch pizza.

Guests can follow Blaze Pizza on Instagram to learn more about how to nominate their favorite teachers for being the "Greatest of All Time" (the G.O.A.T.). Each week, Blaze Pizza will drop apple emojis in Instagram Reels for followers to find and comment on why they believe their teacher is the G.O.A.T. One randomly selected winner each week will receive a $50 gift card for themselves and a $100 gift card to use toward a classroom pizza party. This campaign runs through Oct. 5.

Blaze Pizza operates more than 340 restaurants in 38 states and six countries.
