WARREN COUNTY, OH -- CancerFree KIDS received an incredible surprise donation of $100,000 from Jersey Mike’s Subs CEO Peter Cancro, marking the start of Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving.

Throughout March, Cincinnati area Jersey Mike’s customers can support CancerFree KIDS by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar, or donating $1, $3, or $5 when placing their order. The campaign culminates in the nationwide Day of Giving on Wednesday, March 26th. On that day, all 31 Jersey Mike’s locations in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will donate every single dollar spent in their store to CancerFree KIDS. 

CancerFree KIDS and Jersey Mike's Subs have partnered on this effort since 2015, resulting in almost $1.4 million in donations to CancerFree KIDS.

As a direct result of the money raised from the Month of Giving, eight CancerFree KIDS research grants have been named in honor of Jersey Mike's. These grants have gone on to achieve remarkable results, securing $12.9 million in subsequent funding, resulting in five publications and providing crucial support to the development of a new FDA-approved drug for neurofibromatosis.
