Manasquan-based Jersey Mike’s Subs and customers across the country rallied to raise a record-breaking $21 million to help more than 200 local charities during the company’s 13th Annual Month of Giving in March.
Jersey Mike’s locations nationwide accepted donations throughout the month, building to the company’s Day of Giving on March 29, when nearly 2,500 restaurants donated 100 percent of sales, not just profits, to local charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.
Jersey Mike’s Subs raised a record-breaking $21 million to help more than 200 local charities during Month of Giving.
In New Jersey alone, the sandwich franchise donated a total of $1,288,467 to The Valerie Fund, Ryan’s Quest and Rutgers University Dance Marathon. The full breakdown by state of the more than 200 charities nationwide can be viewed here.
“We were humbled to see how our customers came out in droves to support their local charities on Day of Giving,” Caroline Jones, senior vice president, Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems Inc., and daughter of Founder Peter Cancro said. “Day of Giving is our busiest day, and we look forward to it all year. Thank you to our customers, franchise owners, team members and charity partners for making a difference!”
This fundraising total exceeds the $20 million raised during last year’s campaign. Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $88 million for local charities.
With nearly 2,500 locations nationwide, Jersey Mike’sSubs serves authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs on in-store freshly baked bread — the same recipe it started with in 1956. Passion for giving in Jersey Mike’s local communities is reflected in its mission statement “Giving…making a difference in someone’s life.”
