Mike Holmes and his daughter Amanda are kicking-off M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day at Yonge-Dundas Square this Friday, May 7 between 11:30 am and 2:00 pm.  

On Saturday, May 8, 2010, M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will grill hamburgers and hot dogs for the 22nd Annual M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day to benefit the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). 

 

Amanda was originally diagnosed with Crohn’s as a teenager.  This year she is helping M&M Meat Shops reach their fundraising goal of $2 million.  The money raised through events such as Charity BBQ Day have allowed CCFC to fund more than $61 million in medical research projects.
