Happening at the Pizza Bandit at 700 E Fourth St., the class will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bigs and Littles will get the chance to toss dough in the Pizza Bandit truck with a real chef.

“We are thrilled to partner with The Pizza Bandit, a local business known for its tasty New York Style pizzas and creative offerings,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO Anne Pfeiffer. “This event not only promises a fun pizza-making experience for Littles in our program but also highlights the importance of community collaboration during National Mentoring Month.”
