Last week’s Burgers to Beat MS event was a major success for our local A&W. Owner Rick Oberdorfer [Oh-ber-dorf-er] says his restaurant exceeded its goal of $1, 500. He adds that the fast food chain’s national goal of $2 million was also met, as A&W has now raised over $15 million over the past decade for the MS Society of Canada. $2 from every teen burger sold last Thursday was donated to the cause, and our local restaurant sold nearly 600 teen burgers. Oberdorfer goes on to thank the Thompson community for coming our and supporting the MS Society, and says that he hopes his restaurant can raise even more money for MS research next year.
