Domino's Pizza says that its corporate and franchise-owned stores across the country joined forces to raise a recording-breaking $13 million to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 2020.

The Domino's Village is expected to open its doors in spring 2023.

To examine the magnitude and impact of these perceptions, Dove Men+Care commissioned a research study titled "Bias Against Black Men – Understanding Perceptions and How They Impact Black Men & Boys," to quantify the bias and stereotypes against Black men and boys. The study included 3,000 people, including 2,600 men, and the results are an undeniable confirmation of the negative effects of bias and stereotypes against Black men and boys.
