Jersey Mike’s Month/Day of Giving to Support UNC Health Southeastern Foundation

By Heather Walters, UNC Health Southeastern Foundation

Employees at Jersey Mike’s Subs of Lumberton prepare an order for a customer during their annual Month of Giving fundraising event which will benefit the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation.

UNC Health Southeastern Foundation is once again joining forces with Jersey Mike’s Subs of Lumberton for their annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities.

During the month of March, customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate $1, $3, or $5 to the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation when placing their order.

The Month of Giving campaign will culminate with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – will be given to the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation to support our community’s healthcare system. On the Day of Giving, our local Jersey Mike’s Subs owners, Jamie and Daniel Terracciano of Page Investment Group, will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in — whether in-store, online or through the app.

“We are thrilled and grateful to be chosen as the recipient of the Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving campaign by the Terracciano’s,” says Sissy Grantham, UNC Health Southeastern Foundation Executive Director. “Last year was a phenomenal start to a lasting partnership, where our community supported the Month of Giving and helped raise $15,000. Together, we can raise significant funds to support UNC Health Southeastern patient experiences and needs.” 

This March, Jersey Mike’s hopes to exceed last year’s record-breaking national fundraising total of $21 million and help local charities, like the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation, fulfill their missions and make a difference.

“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.

“We appreciate the generosity of Jersey Mike’s, along with their community-driven mission of making a difference in someone’s life,” said Chris Ellington, UNC Health Southeastern President/CEO. “As a healthcare organization, we understand the impact that giving back can have on individuals as well as the larger community, and we will ensure funding from their efforts throughout the month of March will be used to enhance the health of our community.”
