We have an amazing opportunity to raise significant funds for Special Olympics Ohio while supporting a local business which has given so much to our programming. Special Olympics Ohio is joining forces with thirteen Jersey Mike’s Subs locations in Northeast Ohio for its 13th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign. During the entire month of March, customers can “round up” their order at any participating Jersey Mike’s restaurant to benefit Special Olympics Ohio.

The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 29, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to Special Olympics Ohio. We expect this partnership to generate well in excess of $100,000 for SOOH.

I hope you will consider patronizing Jersey Mike’s during the Month of Giving, and especially on the Day of Giving, whether planning an event at your school or ordering a meal for yourself and your family.
