Friends and supporters,

It's that time of year!

We're getting busier and busier with our upcoming events. From tomorrow's Lunch for a Cause at the Ugly Rooster Cafe in Malta to this year's destined-to-be-amazing An Unbridled Affair Gala to the 14th Annual Route 50 Mile Road Race to the first-of-its-kind Here Come the Boomers: A Community Forum on the Future of Aging in Southern Saratoga CountyThese are just a portion of the incredible 2023 lineup of events!

But first we're so excited to once again be the recipients of Jersey Mike's Day of Giving next Wednesday, March 29th! On this day, 100% of all sales (sales, not profits!) from fourteen stores throughout the region will be donated to CAPTAIN Community Human Services in support of our over thirty programs for local kids, families, and seniors!

That means if you buy a sub next Wednesday, or your office goes in for a catering order, 100% of every dollar spent will make a direct impact in your local community.

You'll find a list of the participating shops below, along with more information and flyers.

This is one of the most significant fundraising events of the year for CAPTAIN CHS and I hope that you'll take the time to stop in!

Please take a few minutes to check out the information below, about Jersey Mike's and all of our upcoming events, along with some community heroes and program highlights that you make possible.

Have a wonderful week and, as always, thanks for your support!

With warm regards,

Andy Gilpin
Executive Director

The kids at Cheryl's Lodge had an amazing time celebrating Valentine's Day this year! They had cupcakes for elementary school students and middle schoolers made chocolate-covered strawberries.
