Aug. 20 marked the annual Burgers to Beat Multiple Sclerosis (MS) day in Estevan鈥檚 and other A&W fast-food restaurants across Canada.
And once again the Estevan community stepped forward to support a great cause. Over 600 Teen Burgers were sold that day, and $2 from each burger sold went to supporting Canadians living with MS.
The restaurant raised $1,983 in Estevan this year.
Traditionally on this day, many customers choose to purchase an A&W bestselling Teen Burger instead of other options to ensure that they made their contribution. Michelle Graff, who co-owns the restaurant, said that due to the pandemic the fundraiser went different this year, but still was a success.
鈥淚t was a little bit different than last year without 小蓝视频 able to have volunteers and games. But the community came out and supported MS, which is great to see,鈥� said Graff.
The fundraiser is equally important to the restaurant and to the communities, as MS is something that most people encounter firsthand.聽
鈥淲e had a lot of comments about how much people appreciate this charity A&W Canada supports,鈥� said Graff.
鈥淚 think a lot of people have a friend or know someone who has MS in their family. So, I think it's something that hits close to home for a lot of people and they came out and supported it so it is great to see.鈥�
