Since opening Mama Mia’s more than 12 years ago, Chef Massaglia has remained committed to the southern New Jersey community participating in a range of community activities and groups. |
Support The Music Program
Mama Mia’s is hosting this program to benefit the music program of the Upper Township School District. “Music is so important,” says Chef Massaglia. The fund-raising program is scheduled to be held throughout the 1999/2000 school year. For every coupon that is redeemed with the purchase of a pizza, $1 will be donated to the Upper Township School District’s elementary school music program. Coupons are available on this website (see Upcoming Events) or at the restaurant. Chef Massaglia’s goal is to donate $10,000 to the schools’ music programs. For information, call (609) 624-9322.
