Bel Air Restaurant Donating All Sales For A Day To Charity

BEL AIR, MD — The Jersey Mike's store in Bel Air is among several locations donating 100 percent of sales to a Maryland charity this week.

All sales from the more than 2,000 Jersey Mike's stores nationwide will be donated on Wednesday, according to a statement from the company.

Locally, restaurant owners pick charities for the March 31 Day of Giving, identifying organizations "that support local neighborhoods and build a stronger community," according to Jersey Mike's.

The Cool Kids Campaign is a nonprofit that supports children in Maryland with cancer through care packages, free vacations, milestone parties, movie nights, camps and other activities to help them feel like "cool kids."

This week's effort is part of the Jersey Mike's Month of Giving, which has raised $32 million for local charities since 2011. This year, the sandwich franchise hopes to shatter its own record and raise more than $8 million, according to a news release.

Visit the sandwich shop at 573 Baltimore Pike — in the Bel Air Plaza, near Aldi — from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31, when all sales will go to the Cool Kids Campaign.
