Celebrate 50 Years. Build the Next 50.

Jerry's Pizza is celebrating 50 years of serving Van Zandt County, and we're using this milestone to launch what we hope will become an annual community tradition.

On Saturday, August 29, 2026, families from across the county will gather for a day of great food, live music, lawn games, contests, raffles, and community fun—all while raising funds to support teachers and educational opportunities across Van Zandt County. Jerry's Pizza Education Grant Fund has been set up to hold funds and distribute to participating organizations.

We're inviting local businesses to become Founding Community Partners and help create the experiences that families will remember for years to come.

This is more than a sponsorship. It's an opportunity to showcase your business, connect with local families, support education, and help kick off the 2026-2027 school year by investing in the community we all serve.

Your partnership helps:

• Support local Education Foundations and PTOs

• Launch what we hope becomes an annual community tradition

• Promote your business to hundreds of local families

• Demonstrate your commitment to Van Zandt County

• Create an unforgettable celebration for our community
