At the same time, Corner Pantry, with support from Gibson Oil & Gas Co., raised funds for the Scotland Memorial Foundation during its customer appreciation event.
“We are thrilled to partner once again with Ron Gibson and Jersey Mike’s in Laurinburg and Pembroke. Ron’s generosity is incredible,” said Kirsten Dean, executive director of Scotland Memorial Foundation. “The reality is our fundraising efforts will never surpass our need, but with incredible partners like Ron and Jersey Mike’s Subs we can sure make a dent. On behalf of the patients impacted by this amazing contribution to Scotland Cancer Treatment Center, thank you for the care you show to those who live in communities where you do business.”
Throughout the Month of Giving, customers donated $1, $3 or $5 to the Scotland Cancer Treatment Center at participating Jersey Mike’s locations in Laurinburg and Pembroke. Customers who donated more than $3 also received complimentary chips and a beverage with their purchase. This year Jersey Mike’s topped its fundraising goal, raising $26,802 for the Scotland Memorial Foundation. In years past, the fundraiser raised more than $10,000 for the hospital.
