All Jersey Mike’s Locations in Las Vegas, Reno, and Sparks Will Donate 100% of Sales to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer

WHAT:

Wondering what to eat and like helping others? Head to Jersey Mike’s Subs on Wednesday, March 27 and grab a sub: 100 percent of your purchase—whether in-store, online or through the app—will go to Special Olympics Nevada.

On March 27, all Jersey Mike’s locations in Las Vegas will give every single dollar in sales, not just the profit, will help support Special Olympics Nevada’s athletes for year-round sports training and competitions as well as support health, education, and leadership development programs. It’s all part of Jersey Mike’s 14th Annual nationwide Day of Giving.

Special Olympics Nevada athletes will be on hand at the Charleston and Rancho location from 11 a.m. to noon (Las Vegas) and the Big Fish Drive and Sparks Blvd. location from 11 a.m. to noon (Reno/Sparks).

WHO:

All month, generous customers have been rounding up and making donations at more than 2,500 Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the nation during the 14th Annual Month of Giving fundraising campaign for local charities. On March 27, Day of Giving, it’s our turn to give: The more we sell, the more we donate!
