Jersey Mike's Glastonbury Participates in Month of Giving

Jersey Mike’s Kicks off 9th Annual “Month of Giving” in March

Four local charities are joining forces with 14 Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants throughout the state for the 9th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to fund local charities. During the month of March, customers can make a donation at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants to:

• Make-A-Wish Connecticut (6 locations in Fairfield County, plus Derby, Manchester, Waterford)
• American Heart Association (Meriden, Norwich, Uncasville)
• Glastonbury Education Foundation (Glastonbury)
• Take A Vet Fishing (Branford)

The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the partner charities.

On Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in to more than 180 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

In 2018, Jersey Mike’s locations in Connecticut raised nearly $58,000 for local charities during the campaign.

“Last year’s nationwide Month of Giving initiative raised more than $6 million for charities making a big difference in their local communities, and this year, we hope to raise even more,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years-old. “From the early days, it’s just what we’ve always done — give to give, as they say. This March, I invite you to visit Jersey Mike’s to help support an important cause in your neighborhood.”

Jersey Mike’s in Glastonbury is excited to participate in their first Month of Giving beginning on March 1st. Customers will be able to visit and make donations to charity partner, Glastonbury Education Foundation. On Day of Giving, Wednesday March 27th, Joe Furey an Emmy Nominated writer, producer, comedian and meteorologist with WTNH News 8 will be in attendance as MC. Fury is a Glastonbury parent who has supported many local events throughout the years, including the Glastonbury Education Foundation. Visit at noon on the Day of Giving and meet Joe Fury, and experience other fun activities for both children and adults at Jersey Mike’s in Glastonbury.
