Celebrate the 15th Annual A&W Burgers to Beat MS Day

On Thursday, August 17th A&W Canada will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold to MS Canada

This Thursday, treat yourself to a tasty Teen Burger and help A&W Canada and MS Canada reach their $2 million fundraising goal to support Canadians living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Helping to ring in the 15th year, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman, TJ Brodie and his wife Amber are partnering with the Burgers to Beat MS campaign to raise awareness and critical funds for MS Canada. This cause is very close to their hearts as Amber was diagnosed with MS in 2016.

Since its inception, the Burgers to Beat MS campaign has raised more than $19 million to support world-class research programs, including advancing treatment and care, enhancing wellbeing, halting disease progression, and prevention.

Looking for more ways to make a difference? From now through Thursday, you can contribute to the cause by rounding-up your bill with any purchase or by making an online donation at BurgersToBeatMS.ca.
