Papa Murphy’s Pizza, several other partners helping ‘raise some bacon’ for St. Jude’s

Papa Murphy’s, Maris Farms and several other sponsors are teaming up again to help raise money in St. Jude’s tireless cause to find a cure for cancer with a matching fund donation during the 2011 Triple Pig Crown racing series.

We are heading into our fifth season hosting what has now become one of the most popular attractions at Maris Farms. The season-long series is derived from horse racing’s Triple Crown and is intended to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. More than $10,000 has been raised for the cancer-research hospital through this month-long event since we started it in 2007.

Race fans place mock bets during the weekend races on the pig(s) they feel will win, and that money is donated to St. Jude. Papa Murphy’s has graciously agreed to match every dollar. In return, each “betting” fan receives a complimentary pig nose and if the pig they bet on wins, they are automatically entered into a drawing for additional prizes. Other participating “pig” partners include Anytime Fitness, American Thunder Monster Truck, Sweet Kettle Corn and KMPS – all of whom are contributing either prizes or funds for this special cause.

In addition to the normal weekend races, there will be three marquee races – The PIGtucky Derby (Oct. 9th, 4 pm), The BOARmont Stakes (Oct. 16th, 4 pm) and The SQUEAKness (Oct. 23rd, 4 pm)

“Anything we can do to help raise awareness and money for St. Jude’s mission, we want to be a part of,” says Steve Templeman, marketing and promotions director and creator of the pig racing event at Maris Farms. “This is a full-on partnership with Papa Murphy’s, KMPS and several other enthusiastic businesses who are all being very gracious with what they are offering. Nobody takes that for granted.”

Papa Murphy’s will also make available special discount coupons to Maris Farms with every pizza that is delivered or purchased at participating stores in the south sound. Those participating Papa Murphy’s locations include: City, address.
