Penn Station Sandwiches Launches Annual Deals for Down Syndrome Fundraiser, Building on More Than $2 Million Raised

Award-winning campaign offers more than $30 in Deals for a Limited Time

CINCINNATI, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Penn Station Sandwiches, recently rebranded from Penn Station East Coast Subs, is providing guests a delicious way to save while giving back to the community, with the return of its annual Deals for Down Syndrome fundraising campaign.

For a limited time, while supplies last, guests donate $5 to receive a coupon booklet packed with over $30 in Penn Station offers, with proceeds benefiting Down Syndrome Associations across the country. Penn Station Sandwiches matches every dollar raised, doubling the impact of customer donations.

"Year after year, our guests show us just how much they care about supporting their communities," said Jeff Osterfeld, founder of Penn Station Sandwiches. "Surpassing $2 million in support is something we're incredibly proud of, but what matters most is the impact those dollars can have for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. We're grateful to everyone who purchases a booklet and makes a donation or helps us spread the word."

Available at participating Penn Station locations, the Deals for Down Syndrome booklet features four coupons that guests can use on future visits including:

• FREE small sub or sandwich 
• FREE kid's meal with qualifying purchase 
• FREE regular drink and small fry 
• BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE sub of equal value, any size 

Each coupon includes a unique, one-time-use promotional code and can be redeemed in-store, online or through the Penn Station app through March 21, 2027—National Down Syndrome Awareness Day.

"Our long-standing partnership with Penn Station means so much to the Down syndrome community," said Beth Smith, Executive Director of the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. "It's incredibly meaningful to see Penn Station and its guests come together year after year to support individuals with Down syndrome and their families. This campaign not only raises important funds for local programs and resources but also helps bring greater awareness to the Down syndrome community. We're grateful for Penn Station's continued dedication and excited to build on that impact again this year."

Proceeds from Deals for Down Syndrome stay local, supporting Down Syndrome Associations in communities where Penn Station restaurants operate. These organizations provide programs, educational resources, advocacy and enrichment opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
