This weekend, Jersey Mike’s Subs will donate 20% of sales to support research to prevent and cure breast cancer.
Jersey Mike’s is teaming up with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to raise funds in support of lifesaving science to prevent and cure breast cancer.
During a two-day weekend fundraiser, Saturday and Sunday, Jersey Mike’s will donate 20% of sales at nearly 3,000 locations nationwide to help BCRF continue to push its mission forward.
“Everyone knows someone close to them who has been diagnosed with breast cancer,” Peter Cancro, founder and CEO, Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems, said. “We invite you to come into your local Jersey Mike’s this weekend to support lifesaving research and treatment innovations.”
“Jersey Mike’s has had a longstanding commitment to philanthropy,” BCRF CEO and President Donna McKay said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness of the critical need for research and for the support of our global legion of scientists.”
According to BCRF, one in eight women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. But, thanks to research, deaths from breast cancer have declined by 43% since BCRF was founded in 1993. Yet, still too many women lose their lives to the disease every year. Together, we can work to raise awareness and funds that fuel lifesaving breast cancer research, which means more treatments, more cures, faster.
