A&W to host 11th annual Burgers to Beat MS on Thursday

A&W will be having its 11th annual Burgers to Beat MS fundraiser tomorrow.

 

$2 from every teen burger sold on Thursday, August 22nd will go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, which will be used for research and support programs.

 

The national goal is to raise $2 million for MS, and Rick Oberdorfer, the owner of our local A&W, says the goal for his restaurant is to collect $1, 500.

 

Last year, Oberdorfer’s restaurant raised over $1, 200 for the campaign.

 

MS is an auto-immune disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord, and Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world.
