Jersey Mike’s Day of Giving

Jersey Mike’s Day of Giving

Join Star 99.9 at the Jersey Mike’s, 2189 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield on Wednesday March 30th Jersey Mike’s Subs, “Day of Giving.” Thats the day when all Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games and the local state Programs attending the USA Games.

Jersey Mike’s is the presenting sponsor of the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games, and it hopes to raise even more for the non-profit organization than last year’s record-breaking $15 million fundraising campaign. Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving has raised more than $47 million for local charities

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The only Connecticut school left in March Madness

March Madness continues this weekend for the men and women’s college basketball tournaments. Connecticut was well represented at the start, but only one team remains. Who else… the UConn Huskies!

The UConn women will face 3 seed Indiana tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm in the Sweet 16. Plus it’s a home game for them as this regions games are right here in Bridgeport at Total Mortgage Arena. If they win tomorrow they move on to the Elite 8 on Monday for a chance to get to the Final Four in Minneapolis next weekend.

If you’re going to the game make sure you’re as loud and crazy as possible.

LET’S GO HUSKIES!!!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is coffee actually good or bad for you?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is coffee actually good or bad for you?

If you’re a cover lover like myself you’ve probably heard and read both things. That coffee is very BAD for you and that it’s very GOOD for you. This latest study done by the American College of Cardiology is very encouraging if you love your coffee.

They found that drinking two to three cups of coffee a day could in fact add YEARS to your life.  The results showed that coffee had a positive or at least neutral effect on your heart, and it’s even safe for people who currently have heart disease.

The study included 400,000 people for at least a decade.  Showing that coffee actually lowers the risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms.

Now, this doesn’t include the giant sugary frozen coffees or whatever coffee creation you come up with. Just regular normal coffee.

Another cup please!
