10th Annual Burgers To Beat MS Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the annual Burgers to Beat MS day at A&W.

The fast food company will be donating $2.00 from every Teen Burger sold to multiple sclerosis research and support programs. Alternatively, people can make a contribution online by clicking here

A&W says that in addition to money from burgers purchased and online donations, they will donate two dollars every time a video of Canada soccer legend Christine Sinclair talking about the disease is shared, up to a total of $40,000.

This year marks the 10th year the Canadian company has partnered with the MS Society, and since 2009 the fundraiser has collected over $11M dollars for MS research and support programs. That number makes the day the largest annual corporate fundraiser for the MS Society of Canada.

 

Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, with 1 in every 385 Canadian living with the disease.
