Jersey Mike's Month of Generosity

Jersey Mike’s Subs, an East Coast favorite, has launched its annual Month of Giving, aiming to make a significant impact this year by channeling all proceeds to a single cause. This marks only the second occurrence in the company's 70-year history where the Month of Giving is dedicated to one national charity. The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games will be the sole beneficiary, with funds raised supporting athletes across the U.S. as they gear up for the big event.

A Legacy of Partnership

“As Jersey Mike’s celebrates our 70th anniversary, it's especially meaningful to recognize our long-standing partnership with the Special Olympics,” said Charlie Morrison, CEO of Jersey Mike's. The chain has proudly supported the Special Olympics since 1975, reflecting its commitment to community and sportsmanship.

How Customers Can Contribute

Throughout March, patrons of Jersey Mike’s can participate by rounding up their orders to the nearest dollar or making direct donations. The effort will culminate in the annual Day of Giving on March 25, where all sales from over 3,200 locations will be donated entirely to the cause. This fundraising initiative hopes to surpass last year's impressive $30 million donation.

Looking Ahead to the Games

The funds are earmarked for the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, set to take place from June 20-26 across Minnesota's Twin Cities. More than 3,000 athletes will compete in a diverse array of sports including athletics, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, pickleball, and cornhole, promising an exciting showcase of talent and determination.
