If you are in one of the 460 communities across Canada that has an M&M Meats Shop, please consider stopping by on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. That’s when franchisees are grilling hamburgers and hot dogs for the 20th annual Charity BBQ Day, raising money for research to find a cure for Crohn’s and colitis. For only $2.50 (more, if you want to be generous), you’ll receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips. Last year, this event raised $1.91 million, and this year it’s aiming for $2 million — every penny going directly to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of Canada.
As I have mentioned before, Son #2 has Crohn’s, so we could be flipping the burgers here in Oakville again this year!

Sue, I think it’s wonderful that you are volunteering to raise funds to find a cure. Part of me, however, blanches at the selling of hot dogs, chips and pop for anything related to health and wellness. I guess no one would show up for salad and tofu!
I know – we won’t win points from nutritionists for giving out chips! But having volunteered at this before, I can tell you that people gobble them up…
