Houlton Burger King supports pediatric cancer research, care

    HOULTON — Burger King patrons can help fight childhood cancers from May 28 through July 1 by donating $1 to the Jimmy Fund through the A Chance for Kids program at Houlton’s restaurant. With each contribution, patrons will receive a promotion card guaranteed to be a winner, with prizes ranging from all-inclusive resort vacations and airline tickets, to theme park admissions and Burger King food items.
    Through the A Chance for Kids program, more than 600 franchise and company-owned Burger King restaurants set a goal to raise $1.2 million for pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
    “The Burger King family around the world is dedicated to making a difference in the communities in which we work and live,” said Jim Froio, Burger King franchisee. “Cancer touches so many lives and A Chance for Kids helps support the fine work done at Dana Farber ridding the world of pediatric cancer. We are happy to continue our support of this program and look forward to supporting it in the future.”
    In the last 12 years, Burger King has raised $10.3 million for pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through A Chance for Kids.
