Big Bill Ficke | 25 Years of Days of Giving

In an age where it feels there are less and less good things you can count on, the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation and Big Bill’s New York Pizza in Centennial serve as inspirations as 2026 marks the 25thanniversary of Big Bill’s 9/11 Day of Giving, a campaign that has raised millions of dollars to help others and honors the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001. Bill and I recently sat down and looked back on 25 years of his amazing philanthropic work that started with one of the worst days in U.S. history. So join me at Big Bill’s amidst the mania of another insanely busy lunch crowd as we talk 9/11 Day of Giving! To be a part of this amazing community effort and support the JoAnn B. Ficke Cancer Foundation, you can securely donate online at jbfcf.org or at bigbillsnypizza.com .
