Jersey Mike’s to support 2026 Special Olympics USA Games

The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games is teaming up with 109 Jersey Mike’s Subs locations throughout New York for the chain’s 16th annual March Month of Giving campaign. 

During the month of March, Jersey Mike’s customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or make a donation when placing their order to help local Team New York athletes and the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games.

Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving campaign culminates with “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 25, when local Jersey Mike’s shops will give 100 percent of the day’s sales to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games and the local state programs attending the USA Games. Day of Giving is Jersey Mike’s busiest day of the year, when some crews arrive as early as 4 a.m. 

This year, the games will be held June 20-26, in locations across Minnesota’s Twin Cities, with the University of Minnesota as the official host venue. Nearly 3,000 athletes will compete in 16 sports including athletics, gymnastics, swimming and basketball, with pickleball and cornhole making their debut.

Jersey Mike’s hopes to exceed last year’s record-breaking national fundraising total of $30 million. Since Month of Giving began in 2011, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $143 million for local charities.
