Jersey Mike’s Day of Giving to support Team Florida athletes

All Jersey Mike's restaurants

During the month of March, customers have been able to make donations at Jersey Mike’s restaurants to help Team Florida athletes and the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games, held June 5-12, in Orlando, Fla.

The Month of Giving campaign will culminate with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 30, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games and the Special Olympics State Programs.

Be sure to mark your calendars and follow Team Florida on social for Jersey Mike’s deals and athlete meet and greet opportunities.

We hope to see you there!
