Wreaths Across America (WAA) is proud to announce that Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its fresh-sliced/fresh-grilled subs, has issued a #GivingTuesday challenge to help raise funds to sponsor veterans’ wreaths for placement on National Wreaths Across America Day—Saturday, December 14, 2024.

Every $17 wreath sponsorship made at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/JerseyMikes through #GivingTuesday, Tuesday, December 3, will be matched up to $500,000 by the company and allocated to where it is most needed!

“Jersey Mike’s franchisees across the country support the year-long mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO. “I invite you to join this important Wreaths Across America initiative and make a difference.”

Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s has contributed more than $4 million to WAA’s mission. Last year, more than three million sponsored veterans’ wreaths were placed nationwide in honor of servicemembers.

“The continued support for the mission by Peter and the team at Jersey Mike’s Subs is beyond humbling,” said Karen Worcester, executive director of Wreaths Across America. “They are a company that gives back to the communities they serve in so many important ways, and through this effort, many more heroes laid to rest will receive the gift of remembrance this December.”
