freshwater
lakes
through
education,
policy
and
volunteering.
Buddy’s

president,
Robert
Jacobs
is very
excited
about
this
project.
Jacobs
stated
“I love
Detroit,
the
Dossin
Great
Lakes
Museum,
the
waterfront
and what
it has
to
offer,
it is
important
that the
natural
resources
are
preserved.
“Since
1970 the
Alliance
for the
Great
Lakes
has
worked
100% to
protect
and
restore
the
Great
Lakes,
but
cannot
do it
alone,”
said
Jonas
Smith of
Chicago,
sustainable
business
director
at the
Alliance
for the
Great
Lakes.
For more
than 40
years,
the
independent
citizen’s
organization
has been
devoted
to
protecting
the
Great
Lakes
against
threats
like
pollution,
invasive
species,
such as
the
Asian
Carp and
wasteful
water
use.

Robert
Jacobs
went on
to say
that
“There
is no
better
way to
help
contribute
to the
future
of our
state
than
dedicate
a
collection
of
pizzas
and
portion
of the
profits
to an
organization
fully
dedicated
to the
lakes.
We are
proud to
partner
with the
Alliance
for the
Great
Lakes. “
