JAY DEMARCUS PARTNERS WITH DONATO’S PIZZA TO RAISE FUNDS FOR VANDERBILT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
$1 From Every “DeMarcus Pizza” Sold Through November 28 Will Be Donated To The Children's Hospital
Jay DeMarcus, best known as bassist, vocalist, pianist, producer and songwriter of superstar vocal group Rascal Flatts, in partnership with Donato’s Pizza is launching a special fundraising promotion for a cause close to his heart. For every signature “DeMarcus Pizza” sold at Donato’s Restaurants through November 28, 2021, $1 from each purchase will be donated to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital At Vanderbilt. DeMarcus has worked in partnership with Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital to give back throughout his career and in 2010, the hospital renamed its Pediatric Surgery Center after Rascal Flatts, to show their appreciation for their hard work and generosity in donating more than $6 million to the Children's Hospital.

“Our work with the Children’s Hospital over the last almost 18 years has been the most humbling and one of the greatest joys of our career,” shared DeMarcus. “The goal with this promotion is to continue to bring awareness to the incredible work being done and raise money for a much-needed, and very dear, cause to me. I hope anyone that can will join in in ordering and enjoying some great pizza at the same time!”
DeMarcus kicked off the launch by sharing more behind the initiative and delivering the “DeMarcus Pizza” to staff at the Children’s Hospital, in a clip available to watch here.
