SUBWAY® Restaurants located in USA & Canada have joined forces with several major charities to giveback to the local community. Now through August 31st, more than 7,800 local SUBWAY® Restaurants are participating in the “You Share. We Share.” campaign to help support different charities.
The “You Share. We Share” campaign encourages the community to get out and share their weekends with SUBWAY® Restaurants, and SUBWAY® Restaurants in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas will share right back by donating a percentage of weekend sales, up to $25,000, directly to Special Olympics New Mexico. As locally owned and operated franchises, SUBWAY® is excited to be able to further its commitment to the local community!
Each year Special Olympics NM puts on many events across the state. 5 more scheduled just this year alone.
Today, more than 3 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities participate in more than 200 programs in 165 countries. In New Mexico, Special Olympics serves over 3,100 athletes, offering training and competition in 13 sports.
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
The Special Olympics gives those with disabilities access to a minimum 8 week training program AND competitions in the following sports: Aquatics, Athletics (track & field), Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, Equestrian, Flag Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Poly Hockey, Soccer, Unified Softball, and Unified Volleyball.
All of these are funded primarily through volunteer work and donations so you can imagine how impactful this SUBWAY® campaign will be!
