Jersey Mike’s Best Buddies partnership returns October 11–12, with 20% of sales donated to support inclusion and employment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Jersey Mike’s Subs is teaming up once again with Best Buddies International for a weekend of giving back and promoting inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). On Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, the popular sandwich chain will donate 20 percent of all sales from its more than 3,100 locations nationwide to support Best Buddies’ mission of fostering friendship, employment, leadership, and inclusive living opportunities for people with IDD.
“We are pleased to announce that Jersey Mike’s is supporting another Best Buddies Special Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, when 20 percent of sales will be donated to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” said Charlie Morrison, CEO of Jersey Mike’s franchise systems LLC.

Founder Peter Cancro echoed that message, encouraging customers to participate: “So please join us and let’s ‘All Raise Up’ together.”
Beyond raising funds, Jersey Mike’s is also taking meaningful action to expand opportunities for individuals with IDD. The company has already integrated employees with IDD at 11 Jersey Mike’s locations across the U.S., with plans to roll out the initiative to even more restaurants in the months ahead.
“Jersey Mike’s commitment to Best Buddies shows the powerful difference businesses can make when they lead with purpose,” said Anthony K. Shriver, founder, chairman, and CEO of Best Buddies International. “Their dedication to employing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities strengthens workplace culture and delivers measurable benefits to the bottom line. It’s truly a win-win for companies and the communities they serve.”
This weekend’s fundraiser continues Jersey Mike’s long-standing tradition of community involvement and social impact. Guests can support the cause simply by enjoying their favorite sub — knowing that each purchase helps create pathways for inclusion and empowerment.

Together, the Jersey Mike’s Best Buddies promotion shows that inclusion isn’t just a goal, but a movement that starts one sandwich at a time. For those near the Orlando area theme parks this weekend, several Jersey Mike’s locations exist near Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort.
