Special Chronicles Show Podcast

In this episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast, host Daniel Smrokowski sits down with Maegan Duffy, Director of Operations for the Hellcat Group, a Jersey Mike’s franchise organization deeply involved in the Month and Day of Giving supporting Special Olympics. Each year, Jersey Mike’s donates 100% of sales on the Day of Giving — fueling more opportunities for Special Olympics athletes, expanding Unified programs, and strengthening inclusive communities. Maegan shares what this campaign looks like behind the scenes, how her teams prepare across multiple stores, and why this partnership continues to grow nationwide. A powerful conversation about leadership, community, and the impact of generosity — one sub at a time.
