WISCONSIN — Special Olympics Wisconsin is joining forces with 39 Jersey Mike’s Subs locations across Wisconsin for the 14th annual “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities.

Throughout this month, customers can round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate $1, $3 or $5 when placing their order — with proceeds benefiting Special Olympics Wisconsin.

The Month of Giving campaign will culminate with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” Wednesday, March 27, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100% of the day’s sales to Special Olympics Wisconsin.

Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder/CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years old, said this March, Jersey Mike’s hopes to exceed last year’s record-breaking national fundraising total of $21 million and 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 March, and especially on Day of Giving when 100% of sales — every penny — goes to help a great local cause,” Cancro said.

Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $88 million for local charities.
