A&W Burgers to Beat MS Day (CNW Group/A&W Food Services of Canada Inc.)
Canadians will once again come together on Thursday, August 21, for A&W’s annual Burgers to Beat MS Day. The event helps raise funds for those living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects more than 90,000 Canadians. Each year, the campaign generates vital support for research and programs across the country.
How the campaign works
On August 21, A&W will donate $2 from every Teen Burger sold. Customers can join in through dine-in, take-out, drive-thru, or the A&W mobile app. The initiative has already raised more than $21.7 million since its start, funding both groundbreaking MS research and services that provide direct help to Canadians with the disease.
More ways to give
Supporters don’t have to wait until the big day to contribute. Ahead of August 21, customers can round up their bill at any A&W restaurant, donate online, or use the A&W app to give. Donations are also available when ordering A&W through Uber Eats, making it simple for Canadians to get involved no matter where they are.
Why the cause matters
Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. On average, 12 Canadians receive an MS diagnosis every single day. For families facing this disease, the funds raised during Burgers to Beat MS Day mean greater access to support programs and continued investment in research that could lead to better treatments.
Community spirit
Every Teen Burger purchased on August 21 represents more than a meal. It’s a way for Canadians to stand with their neighbours, friends, and family members affected by MS. The event has become an annual tradition that highlights the power of community action and the role food can play in bringing people together for an important cause.
