Delivering bags full of Teenburgers to Panther Industries was one of several stops Davidson A&W manager Cristy Sandoval made last Thursday for Burgers to Beat MS Day. The A&W delivered burgers to various businesses in Davidson so that people, who couldn’t make it out to the A&W, could still help the cause. A&W gives $2 from every Teenburger sold on Burgers to Beat MS Day to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research and support programs. Pictured are Panther’s Cindy Desiatnyk and Clayton Schneider with Sandoval (centre). Panther ordered 22 burgers for lunch and had another order coming for the evening crew. Davidson A&W sold 367 Teenburgers on Burger Day, breaking last year’s record sales of 261.
