The A&W restaurant here runs Cruise On Tuesday Nights in its parking lot every Tuesday, but it is holding a special night on Aug. 26 to fight MS.
The event is M/S Cruise For A Cause Night. A&W will donate $1 for every Teen Burger sold that day.
Last year, the restaurant did that fundraiser without any local media coverage or extra attractions and it had 87 cars in its parking lot.
“We had such a good turnout that this year I decided to go all out and try to raise extra money for such a worthy cause,” said Flo Sprague in an email announcing the event
“We will have a bake sale where our fantastic employees are baking lots of goodies to help us raise money, as well as we have got a dunk tank being set up where our mayor, as well as about 12 more very influential members of our community have agreed to be dunked to help us in our Cruise for a Cause Night.”
There is more. Representatives from the Lion’s Club, Kinsman Club, Optimist Club, Knights of Columbus, Legion, the M/S Society and the Big Brothers And Big Sisters of Wellington County. (the regular charity for the normal cruise nights) will be on hand.
There will be a community cruiser broadcasting from the parking lot during the event.
Sprague added that other A&Ws in the area will be running a Cruise For The Cause night on the same evening They will have different formats. Those stores are in Owen Sound, and Hanover.
