A&W Canada and the MS Society of Canada team up for the 6th Annual Cruisin’ to End MS ~ #PR

Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. That's why, on Thursday, August 21, A&W is teaming up with the MS Society to host its 6th annual Cruisin’ to End MS day to benefit and raise awareness for Canadians living with MS.




One dollar from every Teen Burger® sold across the country on Thursday, August 21 will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. In its first five years, Cruisin’ to End MS has raised $5 million to support people living with MS and MS research in Canada. A&W will also donate $1 to the MS Society of Canada for every RSVP to the A&W Cruisin’ to End MS event on Facebook and every tweet or retweet with the hashtag #CruisinToEndMS.

  5. I had no idea that Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. It's a dreadful disease that I hope one day will be eradicated, as hopefully many others will be too.
