Jersey Mike’s locations throughout Texas raised $745,250 in donations during its annual Month Of Giving in March. On March 31, all 56 Dallas-area storefronts donated 100% of their sales to Wipe Out Cancer. Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems matched the donations, bringing this year’s total to nearly three-quarters of a million dollars, according to a press release.
“It’s incredible to present this record-breaking donation in celebration of our longstanding partnership, knowing that it will truly make a difference in the lives of children with cancer and their families,” says Dalton Stewart, Jersey Mike’s North Texas area director and franchisee. “The results are even more meaningful this year since the Day of Giving festivities were cancelled last year due to the pandemic. Thank you, North Texas, for joining Jersey Mike’s in March to help Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer!”
This year’s Jersey Mike’s Month Of Giving raised $15 million for charities across the country. Since 2011, Jersey Mike’s Month Of Giving has raised more than $47 million for worthy causes.
“We are profoundly grateful to Jersey Mike’s, their franchisees and their customers for their continued partnership and dedicated commitment to our mission,” says WOKC founder Cindy Brinker Simmons. “This year’s remarkable Jersey Mike’s donation far exceeded our expectations and will help fund innovative, novel pediatric cancer research as well as WOKC’s social engagement programs that provide our courageous young heroes and their families with hope and encouragement throughout their cancer journey.”
