Domino's Pizza Pledges Support to St. Jude's Thanks & Giving Campaign

November 21, 2005

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ --
- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, is planning to raise a lot of dough for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during its 2005 Thanks and Giving Campaign. Beginning today through the end of the holiday season, participating Domino's Pizza stores will be asking customers to add a dollar to their order to benefit the kids of St. Jude.

During this year's Thanks and Giving Campaign, Domino's is joining a long list of celebrities (including Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, Faith Hill, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ray Romano, and Robin Williams), retail and corporate sponsors in an effort to ask shoppers to give thanks for the children in their lives who are healthy by giving to those who are not. Domino's goal is to raise $1 million, including a guaranteed donation of $500,000 from Domino's Pizza, Inc., in addition to the money raised at the stores.

"St. Jude makes miracles possible for children battling serious illnesses every single day," said David A. Brandon, Chairman and CEO of Domino's Pizza. "Part of being a good corporate citizen is to embrace and support charitable organizations doing great work. I encourage everyone to add a dollar to their Domino's Pizza purchase this holiday season knowing that their money is going directly to the life-saving treatment and research at St. Jude."

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Every research breakthrough at St. Jude is immediately and freely shared with the scientific community worldwide, impacting the lives of children in communities across America and around the globe.

In 2004, Domino's Pizza franchisees and team members voted St. Jude as the company's national philanthropic partner. This announcement launched a three- year partnership to assist the hospital in the life-saving care and research it provides to children around the world. Thus far, Domino's has assisted St. Jude with more than $350,000 in monetary and in-kind support and helped build awareness by putting the St. Jude logo on millions of pizza boxes.
