STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability is partnering with Starkville’s Jersey Mike’s Subs for the national restaurant chain’s 14th annual Month of Giving fundraising campaign.

Throughout March, customers may round up the total of their orders as donations at checkout or through Jersey Mike’s mobile app. The campaign will culminate with the Day of Giving on March 27, when 100% of the day’s sales at Starkville’s Jersey Mike's will benefit the center. The restaurant is located at 831 MS-12 Suite A, next to Zaxby's.

“We are thrilled to partner with Starkville’s Jersey Mike’s for the third consecutive year,” said Kasee K. Stratton-Gadke, executive director of the Mississippi Institute on Disabilities, which houses the T.K. Martin Center. “Our goal is to reach $10,000 this year, and with Jersey Mike’s commitment to local charities, the T.K. Martin Center can continue its mission to empower individuals with disabilities across Mississippi. By supporting us, the community contributes to making a lasting impact on lives and fostering a more inclusive future. We invite everyone to support us throughout the month of March.”
