California Pizza Kitchen -

CPK FUNdraisers are as unique and fun as our menu. We would love to help you raise money for your school or non-profit organization with a FUNdraising event. The events are easy to arrange and everyone you invite will enjoy food from our innovative menu. Best of all, 20% of sales generated from supporters of your organization will be donated back to you! We give priority to groups that focus on children, education and youth sports.
