ASHEVILLE, N.C.,– The Boys and Girls Clubs of Buncombe County, is joining forces with five Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants throughout the Asheville area for the 7th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buncombe County at any of the Asheville area Jersey Mike’s locations.

The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 29, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will donate 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar that comes in – to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Buncombe County.

Throughout the country, on Day of Giving, Jersey Mike’s locations will donate 100 percent of sales to nearly 150 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

“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.
