Jersey Mike’s Celebrated 14^th Annual “Month of Giving”

Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer joined forces with 70 Jersey Mike’s Subs in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex for the 14^th annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign to support local charities. During the month of March, customers made a donation to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC) at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants.  

The “Month of Giving” campaign culminated with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when DFW Jersey Mike’s restaurants gave 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer, earning $643,000 to WOKC and $25 million overall throughout the country. This was a record for Wipe Out Kids' Cancer.  

"WOKC is extremely blessed to have this amazing and unique partnership with Jersey Mike's. It is unheard of for a company to donate 100% of sales, but since 2011, Jersey Mike's has done just that. This wonderful gift will be used to provide comfort and hope to kids (and their families) fighting pediatric cancer,” said Kris Cumnock, CEO Wipe Out Kids Cancer.

“We are profoundly grateful to Jersey Mike’s, their DFW franchisees, and their customers for their kind generosity, treasured partnership, and continued support toward our mission of eradicating pediatric cancer and providing hope for our young children battling this disease,” said WOKC Founder Cindy Brinker Simmons. “Jersey Mike’s has created an astounding culture of giving that has deeply touched the heroic families we serve.”  

For thirteen years, Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country have raised over $113 million for more than 200 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks, and more.

Moving to a new location is often filled with excitement, anticipation, and the promise of new beginnings. However, amidst the flurry of planning and preparations, it's easy to overlook a crucial aspect: ensuring that your belongings are adequately insured for the journey ahead. Properly insuring your move is not merely a precautionary measure; it's a fundamental necessity to safeguard your possessions against the unexpected twists and turns that may arise during transit. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the significance of insuring your move and provide you with an exhaustive understanding of the various insurance options available to you, empowering you to make informed decisions and embark on your relocation journey with confidence and peace of mind.

The Importance of Proper Insurance for Your Move

Moving, whether it's across town or across the country, involves a multitude of logistical challenges and potential risks. From navigating narrow staircases to traversing bumpy roads, there are numerous opportunities for accidents to occur along the way. Without the appropriate insurance coverage, you could find yourself facing significant financial losses in the event of damage, loss, or theft of your belongings. Proper insurance not only provides a safety net but also grants you the assurance that your prized possessions are protected, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your new adventure without the looming specter of uncertainty.

Understanding Your Insurance Options

When it comes to insuring your move, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, you'll need to carefully evaluate your options and select the coverage that best aligns with your needs, budget, and level of risk tolerance. Let's explore the three primary types of insurance coverage available for your move:

1. Basic Carrier Liability: This entry-level insurance coverage is typically provided by moving companies as part of their standard service offerings. Basic carrier liability offers limited protection based on the weight of your items, with coverage typically ranging from a few cents to a few dollars per pound of damaged or lost goods. While this option may suffice for some, it's essential to understand its inherent limitations and consider whether additional coverage is warranted for your specific circumstances.

2. Declared Value Protection: With declared value protection, you have the opportunity to declare the value of your belongings and pay a fee based on that value. In the event of loss or damage during transit, the moving company will be liable for the declared value of your items, up to a specified maximum limit. While this option provides a higher level of coverage compared to basic carrier liability, it's important to note that it may not fully reimburse you for the replacement cost of your belongings, particularly for high-value items or possessions with sentimental value.

3. Full Value Protection: Offering the most comprehensive coverage of the three options, full value protection ensures that your belongings are protected at their full replacement value in the event of loss, damage, or theft during transit. While this level of coverage typically comes at an additional cost, it provides unparalleled peace of mind, knowing that you'll be compensated for the actual cash value of your items or the cost to repair or replace them, whichever is lower. With full value protection, you can rest assured that your most cherished possessions are safeguarded against the unexpected perils of moving.

Tips for Selecting the Right Insurance Coverage

Now that you have a better understanding of your insurance options, here are some essential tips to help you navigate the decision-making process and choose the coverage that best suits your needs:

1. Evaluate the Value of Your Belongings: Before selecting an insurance option, take inventory of your possessions and assess their value. Consider factors such as sentimental value, replacement cost, and depreciation when determining the appropriate level of coverage for your move.

2. Review the Fine Print: Carefully review the terms and conditions of each insurance option, paying close attention to any exclusions, limitations, or deductibles that may impact your coverage. Be sure to ask your moving company or insurance provider for clarification on any points of confusion or concern.

3. Consider Your Budget and Risk Tolerance: While full value protection offers the highest level of coverage, it may not be necessary or feasible for every move. Consider your budget constraints and risk tolerance when weighing the costs and benefits of each insurance option. Remember that investing in comprehensive coverage may provide greater peace of mind in the long run, especially for moves involving valuable or irreplaceable items.

4. Seek Recommendations and Referrals: Don't hesitate to seek recommendations and referrals from friends, family members, or trusted professionals who have experience with moving insurance. Their insights and advice can help you make a more informed decision and avoid potential pitfalls along the way.

Conclusion

Properly insuring your move is an essential step in protecting your belongings and ensuring a smooth transition to your new home. By understanding your insurance options, evaluating your needs, and following the tips provided in this guide, you can make confident and informed decisions that will safeguard your possessions and provide you with peace of mind throughout the moving process. Remember, while moving may be filled with uncertainties, your insurance coverage shouldn't be one of them. Invest the time and effort to explore your options, select the coverage that best meets your needs, and embark on your relocation journey with confidence, knowing that your belongings are in good hands.

So, before you embark on your next move, take the time to explore your insurance options thoroughly and choose the coverage that aligns with your needs and budget. Your belongings and peace of mind are worth the investment. Safe travels!
