Mod Pizza, Battle Ground nonprofit team up for education

Battle Ground — Mod Pizza opened in Battle Ground in late October, and the restaurant quickly formed a partnership with the Battle Ground Education Foundation to help give back to local students. So far, the pizzeria has donated $6,902 to the foundation. The money was raised during the restaurant’s opening day celebration and during the company’s week of Attitude With Gratitude around Thanksgiving time, when a $1 donation was made to the foundation for every Mod Size pizza sold. In a release from the foundation, President Colleen O’Neal thanked the Cory Hammond, Mod Pizza’s manager, for helping the foundation “continue to create educational opportunities for every student.”
