TORONTO – Certified Burgers® (HERO) have joined forces again in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation- Ontario Region (CBCF), in an effort to help “beet” cancer. From September 26th through October 21st, 2016, diners can visit any HERO Certified Burger location in Ontario and enjoy their favourite burger between a Pink Bun from ACE Bakery. These attention-worthy buns get their colour from all natural beet juice added to the dough. For every pink bun sold during the campaign, $1 will be donated to CBCF – Ontario Region.
“At ACE Bakery® we are passionate about many things, and engaging the community to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research is very high on our list,” states Roy Benin, President of ACE Bakery, “We had such a wonderful response to the pink bun campaign last year. Partnering with HERO once again is a privilege.”
The campaign’s tagline reads: Be a Hero. Let’s #BeetCancer together.
“Last year’s campaign surpassed our expectations,” comments John F. Lettieri, President of HERO Certified Burgers, “We are incredibly thrilled to continue this effort for a second year. We want our guests to know they can still enjoy their favourite burger while making a difference!”
ACE Bakery and HERO Certified Burgers will be on-site Sunday, October 2nd, at the CIBC Run for the Cure in Toronto, with the HERO food truck at the finish line. Delicious pink bun sliders will be made to order for a minimum donation of $2 per slider. All donations will benefit CBCF.
“Runners, families, and friends – refuel with pink bun sliders at the HERO food truck,” says
Lettieri, “Seize the opportunity to try a beet-juice bun from ACE Bakery for an amazing cause.”
“Through the tremendous generosity of ACE Bakery and HERO Certified Burgers employees and customers, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is one step closer to creating a future without breast cancer,” says Carly Schur, Director, Corporate Programs, CBCF, “Their generous support will enable the Foundation to fund best in class research, education, awareness programs, as well as quality information and support programs for anyone affected by breast cancer.”
