Record Breaking "Month of Giving"
The Valerie Fund joined forces with 125 Jersey Mike’s Subs in New Jersey for the 13th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to support local charities. During the month of March, customers were able to make a donation to The Valerie Fund at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants.
The Month of Giving campaign culminated with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 29, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to The Valerie Fund. The new Morris Township Jersey Mike’s location outperformed all others as the nationwide top “Day of Giving” sales leader.
Through this partnership, Jersey Mikes helped Jersey kids like Prince. Treated at Monmouth Medical Center, Prince lives with life-threatening Sickle Cell Disease. Azari, diagnosed with a brain tumor at two years of age, is in treatment at Morristown Medical Center, Goryeb Children’s hospital.
The Day of Giving exceeded our hopes, raising an amazing $1,272,627 to allow us to continue to provide psychosocial care at the eight Valerie Fund Centers hosting around 30,000 patient visits every year, to fund Camp Happy Times for kids with cancer, as well as providing financial support to our patients and families through our scholarship and emergency fund programs.
