Carolina Beach non-profit receives $144,000 from Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — A non-profit organization in Carolina Beach has received a large sum of money.

Ocean Cure was awarded $144,000 from Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving.

The group has big plans for the funds.

“Our goal is to make all of our local beaches to be more accessible. We’ve already ordered four new beach wheelchairs four beach Walkers and eight new adaptive specialized Surfboards,” Kevin Murphy said. “We will use the money to help promote accessibility and purchase the products necessary to make more beaches accessible, including , Wrightsville beach and Oak Island and of course our own Carolina Beach which is already very accessible, but we hope to make it the most accessible beach on the East Coast which it pretty much already is.”

Jersey Mike’s has been using March as their month of giving for the last 14 years, surpassing $25 million in total giving to local organizations around the country in 2024.
