MILFORD, CT–(Marketwire - June 16, 2008) - In celebration of Jared Fogle’s 10-year anniversary losing and keeping off 245 pounds, the SUBWAY® restaurant chain is kicking off a text message sweepstakes that gives consumers the chance to appear in a commercial. In addition to a shot at fame, the text-to-win campaign also gives consumers a chance to give back by making a donation to the Jared Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Fogle that provides grants to schools for fitness and nutrition programs. The Jared Foundation was established in 2004 by SUBWAY® spokesperson Jared Fogle, who knows first-hand the physical and emotional hardships overweight children endure and wants to help motivate and empower others to take action to live a healthy life. Fogle and The Jared Foundation help educate children, parents and caregivers about the importance of a balanced meal plan and regular physical exercise while encouraging children, supporting families and motivating communities to become involved and take action.
