Bite by bite, burger by burger, Grand Forks’ A&W last week raised nearly $700 for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).
It was perhaps a humble contribution to the fast-food chain’s 13th annual “Burgers to Beat MS” campaign when, every Aug. 19, the company donates $2 to MS research from every Teen Burger sold nationwide, according to the MS Society of Canada’s (MSSC) website. It was a massive success, no matter how you look at it, for local organizers Amanda Blades and Patti Bevilacqua.
