The Jersey Boys!

   My wife and I have been happy to
support all kinds of fund raising
efforts designed to help the schools
attended by our grandkids.
    We've bought candy bars, Easter
candy, and pizza.
     We've "bought" horses for
"Nights at the Races." And that was
well before the state said it was OK
for charities and non profits to join
the ranks of casinos and the folks
who race actual horses for money.
      We've played the numbers in
the name of education.
       And a portion of all those
donations have been used to support
local schools.
        Yesterday we joined in the best
fund raiser we've see to date!
         A Jersey Mike's Sub restaurant
not far from our home was donating
100% of all of it's profits for the day
to a school one of our grand daughters
attends.
        Ever since he operated a single
store in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, Jersey
Mike’s founder, Peter Cancro has believed
in giving back to the community.
       Throughout the month of March
customers at more than a hundred Jersey
Mike's outlets were encouraged to give to a
local charity or non profit that partnered
with the restaurant. Yesterday, during the
chain's "Day of Giving" 100% of all
profits were given to those partners!
        That made my cheese steak all the
more enjoyable! And the only number
that had to be called was the one indicating
my order was ready! Talk about a good
bet!
        I like the tune these Jersey Boys are
singing!
        Hope I can find one of those candy
bars for desert...and that all your NEWS
is good!
