April 13, 2023 – During March, the sale of sandwiches at Jersey Mike’s 13 locations in Southwest Florida raised $125,618 for Golisano Children’s Hospital. On March 29, all 13 local restaurants donated 100% of the day’s sales.
Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $67 million for local charities, including $250,000 in the last 5 years for Golisano Children’s Hospital. Funds raised help fulfill the region’s critical pediatric healthcare needs through innovative programs, technologies and services.
“As the need for pediatric services continues to increase in our region, we are grateful that local Jersey Mike’s locations continue to support Golisano Children’s Hospital year after year through the Month of Giving campaign. The stores also educate their employees and staff about the cause to help promote donations at the register throughout the month,” said Katy Martinez, Director of Development. “This incredibly generous month-long campaign culminates with a day of giving where 100% of proceeds benefit Golisano. Support like this makes sure we can continue to provide world class care close to home for our children and families.”
