Our Communities Came Together to Raise Over $200,000 for Special Olympics Across Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey

At MC Branded & Jersey Mike's, giving back has always been part of who we are.

This year, we are incredibly proud to announce that our restaurants throughout Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey raised more than $200,000 for Special Olympics during Jersey Mike's 16th Annual Month of Giving campaign.

This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our customers, the dedication of our team members, and the unwavering support of our local communities. Together, we demonstrated the true power of giving and what can happen when people unite behind a meaningful cause.

Every March, Jersey Mike's locations nationwide participate in Month of Giving, a month-long fundraising campaign dedicated to making a difference in the communities we serve. Throughout the month, customers are invited to round up their purchases or make donations in-store, online, and through the Jersey Mike's app, all leading up to the campaign's biggest day: Day of Giving. On this special day, Jersey Mike's donates 100% of the day's sales—not just profits—to charity.

For 2026, Jersey Mike's owners and operators across the country rallied around one incredible mission: supporting Special Olympics and the athletes preparing to compete in the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, taking place June 20-26 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Games will bring together nearly 3,000 athletes, 1,500 coaches, 10,000 volunteers, and tens of thousands of fans from all 50 states in one of the nation's largest celebrations of inclusion and human potential.

Special Olympics is so much more than a sporting event. It is a global movement dedicated to creating a world where individuals with intellectual disabilities are accepted, included, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Through year-round sports training, athletic competition, leadership opportunities, health initiatives, and Unified Sports programs that bring people with and without intellectual disabilities together, Special Olympics continues to transform lives every single day.

Our partnership with Special Olympics is especially meaningful because it reflects the values that have always defined Jersey Mike's: community, inclusion, and service. In fact, Jersey Mike's relationship with Special Olympics dates back to 1975, creating a decades-long commitment to making a difference in the lives of athletes and their families.

Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike's has raised more than $143 million for local charities nationwide, and each year the campaign continues to grow thanks to the incredible support of customers and team members across the country.

While the fundraising numbers are extraordinary, the true impact cannot be measured in dollars alone.

Every donation helps provide athletes with access to sports training, competition opportunities, health screenings, leadership programs, and life-changing experiences that build confidence, independence, friendships, and a sense of belonging.

We are immensely proud of our teams across Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey for embracing this mission and bringing our communities together to create lasting change.

To every customer who rounded up their purchase, made a donation, visited us on Day of Giving, or simply helped spread the word: thank you. Your generosity is helping athletes achieve their dreams and proving that when we come together, we can accomplish something truly extraordinary.

At Jersey Mike's, our mission has always been simple:

Giving… making a difference in someone's life.

And thanks to all of you, that mission continues to grow stronger every year.
