Cosmo DeNicola  Companies rolled out the all new Cosmo Pizza at Goombas Pizzaria in Colmar, PA on Saturday January 28th. Attendees were asked to contribute to a great cause, and by doing so were rewarded with a tasty sample of the Cosmo Pizza and a coupon for a free Pizza. Joining the celebration were world champion Philadelphia Soul Players LaRico Stevenson, Darius Reynolds and Sean Daniels; Philadelphia Soul mascot Soulman also made a guest appearance and entertained the families and Children with his spirited antics. Keeping with the Football Theme, former Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Jimmy Murray greeted all guests in attendance with amazing stories of previous Philadelphia Eagles owners, players and team history.

The Ronald McDonald house was founded in 1974 by Jimmy Murray and Dr. Audrey Evans, a former pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The Ronald McDonald House’s mission is to support families of seriously ill children by creating a community of comfort and hope.

“Football, Food (my namesake pizza) and a great cause, it doesn’t get better than that. Thank you Goombas for inspiring us to participate and thank you Ronald McDonald House for giving me the privilege to be involved with a great organization and cause”

The event kicked off a month long charity drive with a first day contribution of $1,700. For the entire month of February proceeds for every Cosmo Pizza that is purchased will be contributed to the Ronald McDonald House.
