Burgers to Beat MS

A&W’s Burgers to Beat MS Day

Aug 17, 2023 | 6:00 AM

The 15th annual Burgers to Beat MS Day is being celebrated at all A&W locations today from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

As Canada has the highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world, with one of twelve Canadians being diagnosed daily.

A&W will be donating a toonie from every teen burger sold to MS Canada, in hopes of advancing treatment, enhancing well-being, progressing research and preventing MS.

The Grande Prairie Westside location will be hosting a car show at supper time to celebrate the day and raise awareness.

Since 2008, A&W has partnered with MS Canada yearly to raise awareness for people living with MS on August 17.
