Here’s How it Works

STEP 1:

Restaurants show their community local love by registering as a participant.

STEP 3:

This is the tastiest part! Community members try as many Ultimate Burgers as they can throughout the month.

STEP 2:

They create a signature “Ultimate Burger” and sell it throughout the month.

STEP 4:

$2 per burger sold is donated back to the United Way Perth-Huron.
