Jersey Mike's raises more than $176,000 for Golisano Children's Hospital in March

FORT MYERS, Fla. - April 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Generosity was on the menu at Jersey Mike's throughout March as Southwest Florida locations rallied their community to support Golisano Children's Hospital. Through the Month of Giving campaign, customers rounded up their purchases at the register, and on Jersey Mike's Annual Day of Giving, 16 local restaurants donated 100% of the day's sales. Together, these efforts raised $176,778 to benefit the building of the new Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center.

The Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center plans to relocate 80% of pediatric outpatient procedures from HealthPark Medical Center, lowering wait times for children and families in need. With over 5,200 pediatric surgeries performed at HealthPark Medical Center last year alone, the new facility will expand surgical capacity, featuring four operating rooms, two endoscopy rooms, and larger pre-op and recovery areas, all in a setting designed to keep young patients and their families at ease.

"We are truly thankful to the Jersey Mike's franchisees, team members, and loyal customers for their steadfast commitment to the children of Southwest Florida," said Katy Martinez, senior director of development at Lee Health Foundation. "Their continued generosity helps Golisano Children's Hospital deliver cutting-edge treatments, state-of-the-art technology and critical care right here in our community. Jersey Mike's enduring support is not only impactful - it's truly inspirational."

Participating locations spanned Southwest Florida, including Venice, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs and Naples. Since launching the Month of Giving in 2011, Jersey Mike's has raised more than $143 million for charities nationwide, including $700,936 for Golisano Children's Hospital.
