M&M Charity Barbecue Day Saturday

M&M Meat Shops will hold its 21st annual Charity Barbecue Day on Sat., May 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a minimum donation of $2.50, supporters will receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips.

Employees and volunteers will serve up burgers and hot dogs in hopes of raising their goal of $2.1 million for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC).

In the past 21 years, M&M’s Charity Barbecue Day has raised over 16.5 million toward medical research into inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Canada has among the highest rates of Crohn’s disease in the world.
