Jersey Mike’s 12^th annual “Month of Giving” was capped off by what is the busiest day of the year for the sub giant on March 30.  “The Day of Giving” saw all 2,200+ franchises across the country donate 100% of their sales to the Special Olympics USA Games and when everything was said and done it resulted in a $20 million donation.  Some 5,000 very special athletes will take part in the event from June 5-12 in Orlando, Florida and Jersey Mike’s is the main sponsor.

We talked about that, why he wanted to support the Special Olympics and more.
