VANCOUVER — A&W Canada’s annual Burgers to Beat MS Day is returning for its 15th year on August 17. A&W will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold across the country to MS Canada to positively impact Canadians living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Since its inception, the initiative has raised more than $19 million, with a 2023 goal of $2 million.
“The journey to a world free of MS wouldn’t be possible without our incredible partners. This year, we commemorate 15 years of the A&W Burgers to Beat MSfundraiser, which has proudly become our largest corporate fundraiser,” says Dr. Pamela Valentine, president and CEO of MS Canada. “The $19 million in funds raised to date have supported world-class research programs, including advancing treatment and care, enhancing wellbeing, understanding and halting disease progression and prevention. We continue to call on Canadians to help us on this journey.”
“In 15 years, what started out as a small idea has blossomed into a formidable movement, where every A&W restaurant, and Canadians from across the country, donate valuable funds, come together and have fun in an effort to see a future free of MS,” says Susan Senecal, president and CEO of A&W Canada. “Whether you’ve joined us for 15 years, or it’s your first time participating, we’re encouraging more Canadians than ever to celebrate this year’s Burgers to Beat MSDay to help us reach, and surpass, our $2M goal.”
