Mile High Magazine 09/08/2024 Big Bills NY Pizza

Guest: Big Bill Ficke Owner

Bill wanted to help to his home state of New York after 9/11, a week after the tragic events all of the proceeds from pizza sales on that day went to help those in NYC.  They raised over $35,000 that day. This became an annual tradition for Bill.  Bill’s wife passed away in 2009 from lymphoma.  Bill and his son Dan started the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation. The Foundation now distributes all funds raised through the “9/11 Day of Giving."  They distribute the money to six cancer foundations around Colorado.  On Tuesday 9/11 is their big day of giving.  Every penny raised that day will go to JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation.
