Jersey Mike's Gives Back x2
|
Jersey Mike's Month of Giving happens every March in all 550+ locations. Each Franchisee chooses a charity to support and collaborate with, and we are so pleased to be the chosen partner once again for 2014!
During the entire month of March patrons will be given the opportunity to add $1, $3, $5 to their meal total and that additional money will come to UWCV. For each denomination you give, you will be treated to tasty Jersey Mike's discounts!
The month of fundraising will culminate on March 26th with Jersey Mike's
DAY OF GIVING. On this day, ALL proceeds will come to UWCV
(that's all of your sandwiches, drinks, chips...your entire purchase!) Go ahead and gather up your office lunch orders and plan to get some great food while supporting a great cause! Last year this event raised $9,100. This year the goal is $20,000!
We are pleased to be partnering with Scott Buckner, and our local Jersey Mike's, now with TWO Lynchburg locations:
3919 Wards Road &
3901 Old Forest Road
Check out their MENU now! They even have an easy online ordering system!
