Jersey Mike’s Day of Giving: Aiming for a Record-Breaking Year
Coming off a massive $30 million fundraising success last year, Jersey Mike’s is aiming even higher for 2026. While the company celebrates its 70th anniversary, the partnership with the Special Olympics remains a cornerstone of its mission.
“As Jersey Mike’s celebrates our 70th anniversary, it’s especially meaningful to recognize our long-standing partnership with the Special Olympics,” said Charlie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Jersey Mike’s. “As a presenting partner of the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, we are proud to support a mission rooted in inclusion and opportunity, helping athletes shine both on and off the field. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating Special Olympics athletes during our Month of Giving.”
The Road to the Twin Cities
The funds raised will directly support nearly 3,000 athletes traveling to Minnesota’s Twin Cities from June 20-26. These competitors will showcase their skills in 16 different sports, featuring classics like swimming and gymnastics alongside the debut of pickleball and cornhole.
Since its inception in 2011, the Month of Giving campaign has raised over $143 million for local charities. This year marks only the second time in the campaign’s history that every location nationwide is rallying behind a single, unified cause.
