TORONTO — Nine Ontario Jersey Mike’s Subs locations raised $100,000 to help four local hunger and children’s charities during the company’s 15th-annual Month of Giving in March.
The Ontario locations raised approximately $69,063 for Make-A-Wish Canada; $7,106 for Child Hunger Brantford; $13,135 for Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington; and $10,694 for Owen Sound Hunger and Relief Effort.
Across North America during this year’s Month of Giving, more than 3,000 Jersey Mike’s locations raised more than $30 million to help more than 200 local charities. With this year’s donation, Jersey Mike’s has raised $143 million since the initiative began in 2011.
“Our growth in Ontario — from two to nine Jersey Mike’s locations — has allowed us to greatly exceed last year’s Month of Giving total, and as we continue to expand, this contribution will increase,” says Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “Thank you to our customers, crew members and communities that made Jersey Mike’s 15th-annual Month of Giving a huge success and supported these essential organizations.”
