A sandwich shop’s busiest day could mean everything for athletes chasing a national stage.
When you order a sandwich this month, you might also be helping send Team Nevada athletes to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games.
The 2026 Special Olympics USA Games is joining forces with 27 Jersey Mike's Subs locations throughout Nevada for the 16th Annual March Month of Giving campaign. During March, customers can round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate when placing their order to support local Team Nevada athletes and the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games.
This year, the games will be held June 20 to 26 in locations across the Twin Cities, with the University of Minnesota serving as the official host venue.
Nearly 3,000 athletes are expected to compete in 16 sports, including athletics, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball. Pickleball and cornhole will make their debut at the games.
The Month of Giving campaign will wrap up with the Day of Giving on Wednesday, March 25. On that day, local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will donate 100 percent of the day’s sales, not just profit, to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games and the local state programs attending the USA Games.
Every dollar that comes in nationwide, whether in-store, online, or through the app, will go to the cause. Day of Giving is the company’s busiest day of the year, with some crews arriving as early as 4 a.m.
The Month of Giving traditionally supports more than 200 local charities nationwide. For the second time in the 16-year history of the campaign, Jersey Mike’s owners and operators across the country will focus on a single cause dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.
Jersey Mike’s hopes to surpass last year’s national fundraising total of $30 million. Since the Month of Giving began in 2011, the company has raised more than $143 million for local charities.
