“Partnering with Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving in Canada continues to be an incredible honour for us,” said Meaghan Stovel McKnight, Chief Executive Officer of Make-A-Wish Canada. “This initiative is a powerful reminder of Jersey Mike’s unwavering commitment to making a positive impact and helping us work towards our goal of granting every eligible child’s wish, giving them the strength they need to face the devastation of childhood critical illness. We are deeply grateful for the generous support and thank everyone who contributed to making this campaign such a success!”
Last year, nine Canadian Jersey Mike’s locations, all in Ontario, raised $100,000 to help local charities including nearly $70,000 for Make-A-Wish Canada.
