WESTLAKE, OH — Throughout the month of March, customers at Jersey Mike's Subs in Rocky River and Westlake can support the Prayers From Maria Foundation — an organization that funds research into cures for childhood cancers.

“Our customers share Prayers From Maria’s commitment to finding cures for childhood cancers,” said Sean Getty, owner and operator of Jersey Mike’s Subs in Rocky River and Westlake. “We’re honored to again partner with the foundation as our business is designed to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.”

The two participating locations are at 20647 Center Ridge Road, Rocky River; and 30680 Detroit Ave., Westlake. This is the sixth year that Getty and his customers have donated to Prayers From Maria, resulting in more than $50,000 in past donations.
