The company raised $3.4 million alone on just one day —  March 30, Day of Giving — when 100 percent of sales nationwide went to the charity partners, according to a company press release.

"I would like to thank our extraordinary customers, franchise owners, team members and charity partners who helped us exceed our goal during Jersey Mike's sixth annual Month of Giving in March," said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike's founder and CEO. "Our mission statement has always been focused on making a difference in people's lives, and the $4 million raised will go a long way toward supporting the good work of our 180 partner charities."

During the month of March, customers were invited to come into their local Jersey Mike's and make a donation to a local designated charity partner. The campaign culminated in Jersey Mike's Day of Giving when 100 percent of the day's sales were donated to each local charity partner. The charity recipients included schools, hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more, according to the release.

Since it began in 2011, Jersey Mike's annual Month of Giving fundraiser has raised more than $12 million for charities throughout the country, according to the release.
