Celebrate A&W Burgers to Beat MS Day on August 22
On Thursday, August 22, 2024, A&W Canada revs up its grills for a cause that touches hearts, literally one burger at a time. The chain’s beloved Burgers to Beat MS Day lends a helping hand to Canadians living with multiple sclerosis (MS). For every Teen Burger sold that day, A&W will generously donate $2 to MS Canada. Whether you swing by for a dine-in meal, grab take-out, zip through the drive-thru, or tap the A&W mobile app, each Teen Burger brings us closer to conquering MS.
