A Drama Fundraiser to Get the Show on Its Feet
Show royalties, lumber for the set, costumes, lighting and sound, and props all have to be paid before opening night, often before a single ticket is sold. The Slice the Price Card gives your theater program a two-week fundraiser to cover the production budget.

How the Slice the Price Card program works
The Slice the Price Card is a Domino’s Pizza fundraiser that has helped groups raise money since 1999. Your supporters buy a $20 card, and every card sells itself: it gets the cardholder a free large pizza with the purchase of a large pizza at menu price, at participating Domino’s locations, for the life of the card.
- Zero upfront cost. There is no cost to start, no minimum order, and no obligation to buy unsold cards. The program is risk-free.
- 50% profit. Cards sell for $20 and your group keeps $10 of every card sold.
- Sell online, on paper, or both. We set up a free online store so supporters can buy from anywhere and have cards shipped to them. Optional printed order forms are also available — groups that use both typically raise about 30% more.
- Runs two weeks. The short window keeps everyone focused and consistently produces the strongest results.
- A dedicated specialist helps the whole way. Setup, materials, check-ins, and payout — your Fundraising Specialist handles it with you.
- Free prize programs. Optional prize and T-shirt programs reward participants — great for schools and younger sellers.
Cards are valid for 6 months to 1 year depending on when your fundraiser starts, and the expiration date is printed on every card.
Why it’s perfect for drama and theater programs
Front-loaded production costs. A theater program pays for the whole show upfront. Performance royalties and script rentals, set lumber and paint, costumes, lighting and sound, and props all come due before opening night, well before ticket money arrives. A two-week sale early in the production cycle bridges that gap.
More than just cast. A drama program is more than its cast. The crew, stage management, pit, and tech team can all sell, so a production of any size has a sizeable group to fundraise with. Profit is participants times cards times $10.
Costs beyond one show. Theater costs do not stop at one show. There are competition and festival fees for one-act and thespian events, scholarship and troupe dues, and the cost of sending students to state. The profit your program keeps has no restrictions and can fund any of it.
Fits rehearsal schedules. It fits a rehearsal schedule. There is nothing to store backstage and no cash to count. Every student gets a personal share link, supporters pay online, and a live dashboard lets a director track the sale without losing rehearsal time.
What your theater program can earn
Your group keeps $10 for every $20 card sold — a full 50% profit with no upfront cost. There is no minimum and no maximum number of cards.
The math is simple:
Participants × Cards per participant × $10 = Your profit
10 participants selling 15 cards each
$1,500
25 participants selling 15 cards each
$3,750
50 participants selling 20 cards each
$10,000
100 participants selling 20 cards each
$20,000
Most groups raise around $1,500; larger or highly motivated groups have raised $10,000+, with our largest fundraiser reaching about $21,450. We recommend a minimum of 5 participants. These figures are estimates to set goals — actual results vary with participation and effort.
