A&W Canada is celebrating the 16th annual Burgers to Beat MS Day with Canadians. All funds will go toward supporting MS Canada and to date, over $20 million has been raised. This year A&W is calling on all Canadians to get involved and show their support to help reach the Burgers to Beat MS fundraising goal of $2 million!
On Thursday, August 22, Canadians can contribute by visiting their local A&W restaurant and purchasing a Teen Burger. A&W Canada will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold to MS Canada, to support Canadians living with the disease. Today through August 22, Canadians can contribute to the cause by rounding-up their bill with any purchase at an A&W restaurant, through the A&W app, making an online donation at BurgersToBeatMS.ca or by adding a donation to your cart when ordering A&W on delivery apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes. The impact that Burgers to Beat MS is immeasurable:
“I was only 11 years old when I first experienced MS symptoms, but I was not officially diagnosed with MS until much later. I knew a support network would be key in my MS journey and I found that and much more with MS Canada,” says Lizelle Mendoza, MS Canada Ambassador. “I’ve been involved in Burgers to Beat MS since 2012 because I have first-hand experience on how the funds raised make a positive impact on someone living with MS.”
Over 90,000 Canadians live with MS making it the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada. Donations will support world-class research programs, including advancing treatment and care, enhancing wellbeing, and understanding and halting disease progression, and prevention.
