Several local organizations are joining forces with 15 Jersey Mike’s Subs locations in the Quad Cities and Cedar Rapids/Dubuque areas for the 15th annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities. Throughout March, customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate $1, $3, or $5 when placing their order. The Month of Giving campaign culminates in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 26, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100% of the day’s sales to charities.On the Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in — whether in-store, online or through the app — to more than 200 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more. Day of Giving is Jersey Mike’s busiest day of the year, when some crews arrive as early as 4 a.m., the company said in a news release. Some of the groups that will be helped during this campaign include Junior Achievement of the Heartland,Aiming for a Cure, and Muscatine Charities.Jersey Mike’s hopes to exceed last year’s record-breaking national fundraising total of $25 million to help local charities striving to fulfill their missions and make a difference.“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% of sales 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.Mr. Cancro visited the Quad Cities in 2023 for the opening of a Jersey Mike’s at 4451 E. 53rd St., Davenport, and as part of the company’s nationwide “Day of Giving” events.Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $113 million for local charities. Jersey Mike’s Subs, with more than 4,000 locations open and in development, 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.”
