Raising money for amberly’s Place, 4th ave Gym athletic Foundation

- FROM STAFF REPORTS

Two local charities are joining forces with the two Jersey Mike’s Subs locations in Yuma for the 14th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities.

The Jersey Mike’s location at 11231 E. Commercial Center Loop Will support the 4th Ave. Gym Athletic Foundation, and the location at 1580 S. 4th Ave. will support Amberly’s Place.

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 Month of Giving campaign will culminate with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when the two local Jersey Mike’s restaurant­s will give 100% of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the 4th Avenue Gym Athletic Foundation and Amberly’s Place.

On the Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in – whether in-store, online or through the app – to more than 200 different charities including hospitals, youth organizati­ons, food banks and more.

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.

Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $88 million for local charities.
