Eat a Sub, Help Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area
Jersey Mike's Subs in Pleasanton -- and Nationwide -- Raise Money for Local Charities in March
Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area is joining forces with the Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurant in Pleasanton and throughout the Greater Bay Area for the 7th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. In March, customers can make a donation to Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area at any of the 11 area Jersey Mike’s restaurants.
The campaign culminates in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 29, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will donate 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar that comes in – to Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. Last year, more than $28,700 was raised for Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area.
Throughout the country, on Day of Giving, Jersey Mike’s locations will donate 100 percent of sales to nearly 150 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.
