The following is a press release from University Medical Center:
UMC Children’s Hospital, a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital, is joining forces with Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurant for the 8th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to UMC Children’s Hospital at Jersey Mike’s restaurant.
The campaign will top off with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 28th, when Jersey Mike’s will donate 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar that comes in – to UMC’s Children’s Hospital. Jersey Mike’s is located at 6319 82nd Street and hours of operation are from 10AM to 9PM.
Throughout the country, on Day of Giving, Jersey Mike’s locations will donate 100 percent of sales to more than 180 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.
“I would like to extend a personal invitation to you and your family to visit Jersey Mike’s Subs throughout the month of March, and especially on Day of Giving when 100 percent of sales – every penny – goes to help a great local cause,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years old.
Last year’s Month of Giving campaign raised more than $4 million for 180 different charities nationwide. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised nearly $18 million for worthy local charities and distributed more than 1.5 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
