Jersey Mike’s To Kick Off CA Firefighters' Fundraiser

SF BAY AREA, CA — Local Jersey Mike's Subs restaurants on March 1 will launch its annual "Month of Giving" campaign — a month-long fundraiser to benefit California State Firefighters’ Association.

Customers can donate to the cause at all 12 sandwich shops throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

The fundraising effort culminates with a "Day of Giving” on March 25, when the locations will give 100 percent of the day’s sales to the California State Firefighters' Association— so circle that date on your calendars!

Jersey Mike's "Month of Giving," a decade-long tradition, is held at all of its businesses nationwide. Last year’s campaign raised more than $7.3 million for 200 various charities, the company said.

“This March, we celebrate our 10th Annual Month of Giving, an idea inspired by one of our local franchise owners,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who was 17 years old when he started the business. “Since then, we have raised more than $31 million with the support of our generous local owners, crew members and customers. This March, I invite you to come in and celebrate this milestone with us, and make a difference in your community.”
