This is a different type of fundraiser that works this way: each time you use one of the coupons below (1 per visit), Jersey Mike’s will donate $2 to the WSHS PTSA. So go early and often, and tell your friends! The coupons were created specifically for this fundraiser and are only valid for this one week, but we can share them with whomever we want and as much as we want, so please feel free to share!
