A great show of support was demonstrated by the local A&W Restaurant and the community last Thursday as they rallied for MS.
On August 24, the local restaurant hosted the annual Burger to Beat MS. This is a national event where $2 from every Teen Burger will go to the Society of Canada. To mark it, they had a party in the parking lot.
The Drumheller A&W went above and beyond in its fundraising and Kim Mortimer, Development Coordinator for the Central Alberta MS Chapter, took notice.
On site there was a show and shine, Canalta supported the project and was selling root beer. There was even a petting zoo.
“Each location does something different and this is huge!” said Mortimer. “Every store wants to go above and beyond the $2 from each Teen Burger and want to raise more money on our behalf, so this is all their own doing.”
“It brings the community together because it is not the MS Society doing it. It is people within their own community doing it.”
