Jersey Mike’s has announced they are going to honor high school athletes that are going to miss their spring season by hosting an end-of-year virtual banquet through Huddle, Inc. This banquet takes place Wednesday, May 20, at 7 p.m. Eastern. Students from 3,000 different high schools across the country will be invited, and New York Yankees star Aaron Judge will share a personal message to these athletes.
 
“Student-athletes all over the country have had their seasons abruptly ended due to the coronavirus, and with that the heartbreak of dashed hopes for championships and celebratory banquets,” said Jersey Mike’s Founder and CEO Peter Cancro in a press release. “Hardest hit are our high school seniors who will miss their last varsity seasons. We want to honor these student-athletes for their hard work and dedication.”
 
Loyalty Programs
 
MGM, Caesars Update Player Loyalty Programs
 
Both MGM and Caesars have updated their player loyalty programs. For MGM’s program, M life tier status earned in 2019 or 2020 will now be extended through Monday, January 31, 2022. The earnings year for the brand has also been changed to January 1 through December 31 instead of what it was previously, October 1 to September 30.
 
In Caesars’ case, it is extending its 2020 status and benefits through Monday, January 31, 2022. The brand is also making it easier to earn different tier statuses.
 
According to the above article about the Caesars memberships, “Whatever tier level you currently have, you will continue to retain that level through January 31, 2022, but not necessarily the same set of benefits (unless you earned them again through your play during 2020). Should you earn a higher level through your play by December 31, 2020, you will receive that higher level player card, as well as the associated benefits.”
