Jersey Mike’s Donates 100% of Sales on March 25 for Day of Giving
On Wednesday, March 25, Jersey Mike’s Subs is going all in for a cause that aligns perfectly with its community-first roots. For one full day, every single dollar spent at more than 3,200 locations will go directly to charity, not just profits, but 100 percent of sales.
This annual tradition, known as the Day of Giving, is now in its 16th year, and it is expected to raise more than $30 million in a single day.
Supporting the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games
This year’s beneficiary is the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, taking place June 20 through June 26 across Minnesota’s Twin Cities. Funds raised will support more than 3,000 athletes and the local state programs participating in the Games.
“The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games celebrate courage, inclusion, and the incredible spirit of more than 3,000 athletes,” said Charlie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Jersey Mike’s. “We invite everyone to join us on March 25, when 100 percent of sales from Jersey Mike’s locations nationwide will support these remarkable athletes.”
A Month of Giving at Jersey Mike’s, Culminates in One Big Day
The Day of Giving wraps up Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving campaign, which runs throughout March. During that time, customers are invited to donate in-store and online, helping athletes get to Minnesota this summer.
Since launching the Month of Giving in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $143 million for local charities, an impressive number that continues to grow each year.
What to Expect on March 25
Day of Giving is the busiest day of the year for Jersey Mike’s locations, and they prepare accordingly. Stores staff up, open early, and stock extra ingredients to keep up with demand.
That means plenty of freshly sliced meats and cheeses, grilled subs, and all the toppings you expect, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and more.
And no matter how you order, it all counts. Whether you visit in-store, order through the app, or use a delivery service, every purchase made on Wednesday, March 25, will support the cause. That includes subs, chips, drinks, and even catering orders.
A Jersey Shore Original
For locals, this initiative hits especially close to home.
Jersey Mike’s was founded in 1956 as Mike’s Subs in Point Pleasant, and has since grown into one of the fastest-growing fast-casual chains in the country, with more than 3,200 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
The brand continues to earn national recognition, including ranking #1 on Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500 and landing on Yelp’s 2025 list of fastest-growing brands.
More importantly, giving back has remained a core part of its identity. Jersey Mike’s was also named to Forbes’ Best Brands for Social Impact list in 2025.
The Bottom Line
If you are planning lunch or dinner on March 25, this is one of those rare moments when a simple meal can make a big impact.
Grab your favorite sub, feed the office, or place a catering order. However you choose to participate, every dollar goes directly to supporting athletes competing in the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games.
Not a bad reason to order a sandwich.
