VANCOUVER A&W Canada, in partnership with the MS Society of Canada, has exceeded its $1.5-million goal, raising more than $1.8 million during its 14th annual Burgers to Beat MS Day in support of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Over the last 14 years, the Burgers to Beat MS fundraiser has raised more than $19 million and is the largest annual corporate fundraiser for the MS Society of Canada. Olympic gold medalist and Canadian women’s national soccer team captain, Christine Sinclair, has been a long-time supporter of the program in honour of her mother, Sandra, who was diagnosed with MS during Sinclair’s childhood.

Burgers to Beat MS Day would not be possible without the dedication of our amazing franchisees and enthusiasm of our loyal guests,” says Susan Senecal, president and CEO, A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. “We are blown away by this year’s outstanding success and are honoured to continue supporting the incredible work of the MS Society of Canada.”

“The 14th annual Burgers to Beat MS was a resounding success,” says Dr. Pamela Valentine, president and CEO of MS Society of Canada. “The MS Society is grateful for this long-standing partnership with the A&W family, as they have been integral in raising awareness, supporting people impacted by MS, and helping achieve significant advancements in MS research. With A&W’s support through Burgers to Beat MS, we are one step closer to achieving our vision of a world free of MS.”
