BarBurrito Buckets & Borders featuring Kelly Olynyk and Gradey Dick of the Toronto Raptors

TORONTO — BarBurrito has partnered with professional basketball players Kelly Olynyk and Gradey Dick to launch two exclusive menu items: the Classic Kelly and the Hungry Gradey. From now until April 30, $1 from every sale of these limited-edition burritos will be donated to Buckets & Borders, a Canadian non-profit dedicated to fostering community and connection through basketball. BarBurrito will be matching these donations, with a minimum donation of $25,000.

The Classic Kelly is a large steak burrito, stuffed with Mexican rice, pinto and black beans, jalapeño salsa, cilantro, green pepper, guacamole, tomato, red onion, burrito sauce, and signature hot sauce wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. The Hungry Gradeyincludes a crunchy chicken BBOX featuring a burrito with rice, lettuce, corn, and chipotle BBQ sauce, served with extreme fries and extreme chips.

Buckets & Borders’ not-for-profit initiatives are dedicated to improving communities and bringing people together by restoring outdoor basketball courts, telling impactful stories, and working collaboratively with communities to make the greatest long-term impact. Funds raised will be allocated to Buckets & Borders’ 25 by 25 campaign, an initiative to complete 25 basketball courts by the end of 2025.

“Giving back to the communities that have supported me throughout my career is something I’ve always been passionate about, and this partnership allows us to make a real difference together. Through food and basketball, we’re building strong connections in neighbourhoods across Canada,” says Olynyk.

“At BarBurrito, we believe in creating meaningful connections with the communities we serve, with each franchise being locally owned and operated. Partnering with Olynyk and Gradey, and Buckets & Borders takes our mission to the next level, bringing people together and giving back in a tangible way,” says Colette MacLean, VP of Marketing at BarBurrito.
