Jersey Mike’s Kicks off 9th Annual “Month of Giving” in March
KITCHENER, Ont., Feb. 21, 2019 – Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario is joining forces with two Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants for the 9th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario at the restaurants located at 589 Fairway Road South in Kitchener and 850 Wellington Road in London.
The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario.
Along with the Kitchener and London Jersey Mike’s restaurants, on Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the U.S. will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in to more than 200 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.
“Last year’s Month of Giving initiative raised more than $6 million for charities making a big difference in their local communities, and this year, we hope to raise even more,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years-old. “From the early days, it’s just what we’ve always done — give to give, as they say. This March, I invite you to visit Jersey Mike’s to help support an important cause in your neighborhood.”

Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised more than $34 million for local charities and distributed more than 2 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
