Also for a minimum donation of $1 you will received a pink paper heart, and for a $2 donation for a peal back hearts and you will also win one of four prizes which are: a free panookie, pizzatizer, starter or $2 off any dessert." Pierce also encouraged, "Reservations will be a good idea to make for Valentines Day."
