Visit Jersey Mike's and Make a Difference One Sub at a Time February 14, 2010 - March 12, 2010
Saturday, February 13, 2010
From Sunday, February 14, to Thursday, March 11, all 11 participating Jersey Mike’s stores will contribute to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer, (WOKC) For every regular sub sold, the contribution is $0.25. For every giant sub sold, the contribution is $0.50. Additionally, March 12 will be Jersey Mike’s Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer Day!
“We are asking that everyone come in with generous hearts and support this tremendous cause. While a minimum donation is $1 on March 12, we are hoping that people will give what they would have paid for the sub,” said Dalton Stewart, the Dallas franchisee who initiated the partnership. “Our goal is to really make Jersey Mike’s Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer Day on March 12 a great event for the communities we serve while raising as much money as possible for a worthy cause.”
“Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer is very honored to be the recipient of such kind generosity from Jersey Mike’s,” said Cindy Brinker Simmons, founding chairman of the non-profit organization. “For the past 30 years, we have cared for young heroes with cancer and are resolutely determined to continue to do all that we can to help eradicate this mean-spirited disease. We are grateful beyond measure that our charitable teammate, Jersey Mike’s, shares our same passion for this noble crusade.”
“This is a very important cause for us – many of the Jersey Mike’s store owners in the Dallas area have children, and we can’t imagine what these parents and children with cancer go through every day,” said Julie Chaump, Jersey Mike’s Dallas co-op president. “Along with the generous support of our customers, we plan to make a difference one sub at a time.” For more information on Jersey Mike’s, go to www.jerseymikes.com
