He’s a national spokesman. On TV here and everywhere. How does it benefit Jersey Mike’s locally beyond existing JMA naming rights ?
I think the tie in is that Danny is from the Jersey Shore and has always been pretty vocal about his love for his home state At 4'10 on his tippy toes, not sure if he is a huge basketball fan, but it would be amazing if we could get him to a game and he could do some mic work - even if it's behind a dispatch cage
You can support NIL, as I do, and still agree that wishing money for hospitals was diverted NIL is an absurd idea.
That's both heightist and dispatchist.I think the tie in is that Danny is from the Jersey Shore and has always been pretty vocal about his love for his home state At 4'10 on his tippy toes, not sure if he is a huge basketball fan, but it would be amazing if we could get him to a game and he could do some mic work - even if it's behind a dispatch cage
Yes, I definitely agree.
But to be clear, I do not. I think what NIL has quite predictably become - and the manner in which it will quite predictably become worse - is vastly contrary to its intent.
That will go over most people's heads. The full name (now Jersey Shore University Medical Center):
DeVito was born at Raleigh Fitkin-Paul Morgan Memorial Hospital in Neptune Township, New Jersey, and originally named the Ann May Memorial Homeopathic Hospital until 1932, and then in 1966, it was renamed the Jersey Shore Medical Center – Fitkin Hospital.
They don't call the Pysch Ward Rosa Pavilion any more either. Used to take a lot of patients between Rosa and Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital on the paid ambulance I worked for. Good times.
Minimal marketing benefit to RU, but I was refuting the ‘no brainer’ benefit to Jersey Mike’s, It would add nothing to their interests to have him come to campus.I think the tie in is that Danny is from the Jersey Shore and has always been pretty vocal about his love for his home state At 4'10 on his tippy toes, not sure if he is a huge basketball fan, but it would be amazing if we could get him to a game and he could do some mic work - even if it's behind a dispatch cage
Fitkin is misinformation. As previously noted:
DeVito was born at Raleigh Fitkin-Paul Morgan Memorial Hospital in Neptune Township, New Jersey.
Made me wonder. Who was "Raleigh Fitkin?" Why was the name removed from the hospital? From Wikipedia:
Abram and Susan Fitkin had four children: A. Raleigh (born September 3, 1904, in Everett, Massachusetts; died September 7, 1914)......After a fishing trip with his father in August 1914,[57] Raleigh Fitkin was thrown from their car after its axle broke. Miller records: "Though badly frightened, father and son seemed to be uninjured. The next day when Raleigh said that he had severe abdominal pain, the family, at first, thought it a mere recurrence of appendicitis attacks, which previously had passed off with no after effects." Despite an operation in a home in Allenhurst, New Jersey, and the efforts of six physicians, on September 14, 1914, Raleigh died.
The death of Fitkin's oldest son, Raleigh (born September 3, 1904), "the light of the father's eye",[51] on September 7, 1914, was the primary factor in Fitkin's philanthropic enterprises.
n order to honor his deceased son, and also A.E. Fitkin & Co. Vice-President Paul L. Morgan (born about 1896; died March 1929), who died of pneumonia at the age of 32,[233][234] by May 1930 Fitkin contributed $500,000 to the Spring Lake Hospital Society to build the Fitkin-Morgan Memorial Hospital at Corlies Avenue in Neptune Township, New Jersey.[235][236]

There are several hospitals and wings named Raleigh Fitkin Memorial . . . . Still wonder why they thought it was right to remove the names?
They could easily come up with a creative/funny commercial idea and have full access to shoot a commercial at Jersey Mike’s arena.
I could come up with multiple commercial ideas with a 4’11 guy on a basketball court.
It is a no brainer.
We offer an arena with the Jersey Mike logo on the building and Jersey Mike logo on the court.
What other schools can offer that?
I’ll tell you since you sound a bit dense - NONE.
brilliant marketing. hurry and send in your idea before someone else does. might even get you a VP gig there.
it’s such a spectacular idea, and astonishing they didnt think of it. yes, a no brainer. The entire JM executive team should be fired for not doing your idea yet.

I didn't know there was an inability to diagnose / treat what was probably a liver lac in 1904. Makes sense, but... in the grand scheme of things it wasn't all that long ago.
Advances of modern medicine have been fantastic. You gave one example. Cancer treatment has made huge advances. There have been other areas.
Next up, hopefully, is understanding obesity and high cholesterol. In my extensive research and personal experience, diet is extremely important, and maybe most important. But when that fails, there is still not a good understanding why some people with high cholesterol do not get heart disease while some of those with low cholesterol and on cholesterol-lowering medicines do get heart disease. That's not a knock on medicines or statins--the standard of treatment is to lower cholesterol to a baseline, but there is more to the story beyond cholesterol that they are still trying to figure out. We will get there eventually. Heart disease is still the #1 killer in the US.
>The hospital "is very dear to my heart because, you know, I was born here," said DeVito, 78. "I guess I had a really good time; I don't remember the exact moment. But I've been here before, visited the place. I've probably had splinters taken out here."<

The actor—who is the celebrity face of Jersey Mike's—was in town after donating $500,000 to the Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, according to the Daily Voice. That's where DeVito was born in 1944, when it was called Fitkin Memorial Hospital, according to the Asbury Park Press.
Jersey Mike's (a Devito employer) gave nearly $1.3M to the Valerie Fund which supports childhood cancer hospitals in the area.. Philly to NYC. Would like to see RWJUH system get such support from somewhere. NJ businesses do not support the flagship state U enough... could be a curse associated with being stuck between NYC and Philly.
FYI…Pete Cancro is great with charity.
Same with Joe Introna of “Joe Leone’s” fame.
Solid guys.

Do really like the way Jersey Mikes does it.. no fooling around.. all revenue on that given day goes to charity.. LOCAL CHARITIES.. all overhead costs for the day are covered by Jersey Mikes and their franchisees (if they have em).. none of this X percent of profits... none of this pennies per specific product sale...FYI…Pete Cancro is great with charity.

Don't get me wrong.. ANY charity is good unless it is really just a scam.. but doing it Jersey Mike's way leaves no doubt. And Danny Devito.. who is more Jersey than him? He is a treasure.
"For the actor, the donation took on added meaning. He said it was a chance to give back to a hospital that was a cornerstone for his family. And it was a chance to help the hospital continue to provide innovative care needed in the face of health threats."
Cancro two years ago donated $10 million to Hackensack Meridian. And he said he is teaming up with former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning to raise another $1 billion for the hospital system.
When DeVito was cast for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," he learned he had a connection with the movie's star, Jack Nicholson, a Neptune native.
"I found out he was born exactly here," DeVito said. "So one of the first things I ever said to him when I met him on the set of 'Cuckoo's Nest' was, 'Hey man, we were born in the same hospital. Fitkin Hospital.'"
I owe @e5fdny an apology.
Maye Pete Cancro could help with our NIL with Eli Manning?
$1 Billion should be able to buy some winning talent, no?
