Burgers for Breast Cancer: #ForTheNip

Here we go again! We are back with another Burgers for Breast Cancer fundraiser in support of CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, and this year, the BBQ features the perfect burger for the cause… the Salisbury House Nip! We’ve learned a lot in previous years’ events, and our goal is to continually keep improving to make each year an even stronger and more successful effort for the cause. This year, our hopes couldn’t be higher. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in our lives—and our world—experiencing unprecedented hardships. People who’ve been diagnosed with, or are at high risk for breast cancer, have found themselves in a uniquely difficult, and often scary position since the pandemic began. Worries over if it’s safe to go to medical appointments, or if screenings should be postponed. Treatments being delayed, or changed. Not being able to have the full support network of in-person family and friends. Virtual after-care. Increased risk of serious COVID-19 complications. Deciding whether to go ahead with only a portion of a surgical procedure, as ‘elective’ parts, such as reconstruction, were postponed. The list goes on. There has been a lot of fear, uncertainty, and negativity as a result of the pandemic. The world hasn’t, at times, seemed the kindest place. After the past year, it couldn’t be a better time to get involved with putting something good back into it. With this year’s Burgers for Breast Cancer event, there are multiple ways to make a difference to someone suffering in an already difficult time.​ All donations will go directly to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. Donations (min. $5 suggested) will give you a voucher for a Salisbury House Cheese Nip (various options available, including veggie and gluten-free), packaged to go, with condiments, napkins, drink and donut. You will also receive entry tickets for the prize draw. A tent will be set up for tax receipts for any donation over $20. We will also have a professional DJ providing the soundtrack to a summer day, and an oversized Polaroid frame for selfies/photo ops where you can show who you’re donating for. We are incredibly grateful to all our sponsors, donors, and of course Salisbury House, who will be providing the Cheese Nips and pink doughnuts (condiments, napkins, canned pop and chips will also be available). Come on out again, spread the word, and together as a community, we can make a difference. After the past year’s difficulties and its impact on healthcare, the impact couldn’t be greater to those affected by breast cancer.
