MILWAUKEE (November 5, 2020) – Cousins Subs® announced today the brand raised $10,000 through its Round Up Campaign, held in-person and online during the month of October, in support of its Make It Better Foundation that addresses the vital community needs of hunger, youth education and health and wellness.
