Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO) is joining forces withJersey Mike’s Subs in Missouri for the 14th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to SOMO at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants.

The Month of Giving campaign will culminate with 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 SOMO.

Participating Stores in Missouri

  • Columbia: 1101 Grindstone Parkway, Suite 105
  • Columbia: 2001 West Worley Street, Suite 100
  • Jefferson City: 2111 Missouri Blvd., Suite A

During the month of March, customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate $1, $3, or $5 when placing their order.

The campaign culminates with the nationwide event, Day of Giving, on Wednesday, March 27, when local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in to local charities.

At the first nationwide fundraiser in 2011, all of Jersey Mike’s 454 locations raised $600,000 for 66 charities. Since then, Jersey Mike’s annual Month of Giving has raised more than $88 million for local charities.

This March, Jersey Mike’s hopes to exceed last year’s record-breaking national fundraising total of $21 million and help local charities striving to fulfill their missions and make a difference.

“I would like to extend a personal invitation to you and your family to visit Jersey Mike’s Subs throughout the month of March, and especially on Day of Giving when 100 percent of sales – every penny – goes to help a great local cause,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years old.

In each market, restaurant owners select charities that support local neighborhoods and build a stronger community.
