Domino's Carthage has launched a fundraiser to support employee Braxton Thrasher, who was injured in a moped accident on November 30.

The fundraiser was initially projected to raise a certain amount but was doubled due to high demand, leading to a temporary halt in food orders. The campaign is limited to the Carthage, Missouri location and can be accessed via online ordering with the specified coupon or by calling the restaurant. Donations can also be made at any Southwest Missouri Bank (SMB).
