“It’s like reading the cereal box over breakfast – we hope our customers will read our latest cup series with these touching stories from our partner organizations while eating their subs and understand that they can make a difference too,” said Jersey Mike’s Founder and CEO Peter Cancro. “We know these cups will be a hit because our customers prove to us time and again when they support our fundraisers that giving back matters as much to them as it does to us.”

Each cup will feature the statement “Giving…Making a difference in someone’s life,” a sentiment that Jersey Mike’s takes to heart. Jersey Mike’s selects franchise owners who not only share the company's commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service but also a dedication to supporting the local community and being active where it is needed most.
