Celebrate Jersey Mike’s 16th Annual Month of Giving in March for 2026 Special Olympics
100 Percent of Sales Donated on March 25 “Day of Giving” To Send Athletes Nationwide to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games in June
MANASQUAN, N.J., Feb. 24, 2026 – Hoping to raise a record-breaking amount for a good cause this March, Jersey Mike's Subs (“Jersey Mike's” or the “Company”), a leading franchisor of fast-casual sandwich shops known for its fresh sliced and fresh grilled subs, asks customers to eat a sub and help local athletes across the U.S. attend the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, June 20-26, at locations across Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

For just the second time in the 16-year history of the Company’s March Month of Giving fundraising campaign, Jersey Mike’s owners and operators nationwide will support a single cause.
During the month of March, customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate when placing their order.
The fundraiser culminates with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 25, when more than 3,200 Jersey Mike’s restaurants across the country will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit– to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games and the local state Programs attending the USA Games.
Jersey Mike’s hopes to raise even more for the non-profit organization than the record-breaking $30 million it raised during last year’s Month of Giving. To date, the Month of Giving campaign has raised more than $143 million for local charities since it began in 2011.
“As Jersey Mike’s celebrates our 70th anniversary, it’s especially meaningful to recognize our long-standing partnership with the Special Olympics,” said Charlie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Jersey Mike’s. “As a presenting partner of the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, we are proud to support a mission rooted in inclusion and opportunity, helping athletes shine both on and off the field. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating Special Olympics athletes during our Month of Giving.”
Jersey Mike’s has been involved in the Special Olympics USA Games since 1975. At this year’s Games, nearly 3,000 athletes will compete in 16 sports including athletics, gymnastics, swimming and basketball, with pickleball and cornhole making their debut.
