Your choice of lunch on Wednesday, March 26 can make a huge difference in the lives of children fighting cancer.
Wednesday is Jersey Mike’s 15th annual “Day of Giving,” and all 31 Cincinnati area Jersey Mike's locations will donate 100% of every purchase to the local charity CancerFree KIDS.
The organizations have partnered on this effort since 2015, resulting in almost $1.4 million in donations. Last year alone, Jersey Mike’s donated a record $330,000 to CancerFree KIDS.
CancerFree KIDS aims to find more effective and gentler treatments for childhood cancer by funding innovative research projects in the early stages of development. New ideas need money to grow, yet potential breakthrough treatment methods often go unfunded because pediatric cancer research is drastically limited.
CancerFree KIDS provides grants to high-risk/high-reward childhood cancer research projects in these crucial early stages, which allows researchers to prove their concept, secure additional funding, and eventually create new treatments for kids.
As a direct result of the money raised from the Month of Giving, eight CancerFree KIDS research grants have been named in honor of Jersey Mike's. These grants have gone on to achieve remarkable results, asecuring $12.9 million in subsequent funding, resulting in five publications and providing crucial support to the development of a new FDA-approved drug for neurofibromatosis.
Throughout the month, Jersey Mike’s customers have been able to round up their bills to donate to local charities at almost 3,000 Jersey Mike’s locations during the 15th Annual “Month of Giving fundraising campaign. But on Wednesday, every dollar spent, not just profits, will go to charity.
So grab lunch, dinner, cater a meal or send subs to your favorite charity to fund the great work at CancerFree KIDS. For a list of restaurants, visit Jersey Mike’s charity listing by state.
