Local Eatery Donating All Sales For A Day To Charity

SAN PEDRO, CA — The San Pedro Jersey Mike's Subs store is among 209 Los Angeles area locations donating 100 percent of sales to Cancer For College on Wednesday.

Cancer For College provides need-based college scholarships and educational experiences to cancer survivors since 1993, it said on its website.

The effort is part of the sandwich franchise chain's Month of Giving, which has raised $32 million for local charities since 2011. Jersey Mike's hopes to shatter its own record and raise more than $8 million this year, it said in a news release.

Jersey Mike’s has been taking donations all month for selected charities. “All sales from all locations” will be donated on Wednesday, the company said. Owners will even donate their money to the cause so that every dollar that flows in on Wednesday will go to charity.

Restaurant owners pick the charities and identify organizations “that support local neighborhoods and build a stronger community,” the company said.

Here's a list of participating locations in and near the South Bay:

• 912 N Western Ave, San Pedro
• 5342 Rosecrans Ave. Gateway Center, Hawthorne
• 24631 Crenshaw Blvd. Suite M, Torrance
• 561 N Pacific Coast Hwy, Redondo Beach
• 4020 Lincoln Blvd. Ste. A, Marina Del Rey

We hope you’ll join us on Wed, March 31st, as we hope to set a new record of over $8 million raised! #JerseyMikesGives pic.twitter.com/DslhcbVtG4
