Legendary basketball player Shaquille O'Neal surprised a group of kids with the ultimate kid wish - a pizza party.
It was all part of the kickoff to Papa John's inaugural day of service. The company partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of America to celebrate.
During the day, Papa John's newest Board Member and investor, Shaq, visited the Toronto branch of the Boys & Girls Club before the NBA playoff games there - donating the pizza party for volunteers and the kids.
The pizza chain tapped the basketball Hall of Famer to appear on TV commercials and promote Papa John's, join the company's board of directors and invest in nine of its restaurants in the Atlanta area.
Papa John's is trying to revive its image after the company's founder and namesake, John Schnatter, was reported to have used a racial slur during a media training session. Schnatter, who was the face of the company, apologized for the slur and the company scrubbed his face from its logo and advertisements last year. Schnatter is still the Louisville, Kentucky-based company's biggest shareholder.
