The Foodie-file: Canadians Curing Crohns Disease; M&M meat shop raise over $2 million

mm.jpgM&M Meat Shops with their annual barbecue fundraiser raised over $2 million for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada this past Saturday. Staff and thousands of volunteers at more than 465 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada joined together to beat their own charity barbecue day record. To date M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, customers and volunteers have raised more than $16 million for this vital cause!

Saturday marked the 20th annual event, and Canadians from coast-to-coast including myself, were out enjoying thousands of hamburgers and hot dogs in support of the CCFC. Every cent raised will go directly to the CCFC to help find a cure for IBD, a disease that affects more than 200,000 Canadians.

Way to go M&M Meats, a proud Canadian company!
