Send Team New York to Special Olympics USA Games During Jersey Mike’s “Month of Giving”

100% of All Sales to Support New York’s Athletes with March 25 “Day of Giving”

Albany, NY – The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games is joining forces with Jersey Mike’s Subs locations throughout New York for the 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, or make a donation, when placing their order to help nearly 100 New York athletes get to 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 restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games delegations. On Day of Giving, every single dollar that comes in nationwide, whether in-store, online or through the app, will go to Special Olympics.

The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games will take place June 20–26 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Games will be one of the largest and most inclusive sporting events in the country, bringing together 3,000 athletes, 1,500 coaches, 10,000 volunteers, and an estimated 75,000 fans from all 50 states.

Special Olympics New York is proud to be sending 82 outstanding athletes and Unified partners from communities across the state to compete in 12 sports. Meet Team New York here.

“Team New York will represent our state with determination, sportsmanship, and great pride as they go up against the best of the best Special Olympics athletes in the nation,” said Special Olympics New York President & CEO Stacey Hengsterman. “While our athletes and their peers from across the country prepare to go for the gold on a national stage, Jersey Mike’s and their customers here at home are setting the example. We are so grateful to Jersey Mike’s for believing in our athletes, and for rallying our communities around inclusion with this campaign.”

The Month of Giving traditionally supports more than 200 local charities nationwide. For the second time in the 16-year history of Month of Giving, Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will support this single, important cause dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID), a mission that transcends the boundaries of sport to address discrimination in all its forms.

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.
