Restaurant starts Jimmy Fund effort

PRESQUE ISLE — Burger King restaurant guests can help fight cancer now through Sept. 6 by contributing $1 to the Jimmy Fund through the A Chance for Kids & Families® program.

With each contribution, customers will receive a promotion card with possible prizes ranging from vacations, a hot tub, personal watercraft, airline miles, theme park tickets, instant oil change discounts and free services, and food prizes from participating Burger King restaurants. No purchase is required.

The Presque Isle facility joins restaurants in the six New England states and throughout Delaware, New York and New Jersey.

In the last 15 years, participating Burger King restaurants have raised more than $11.9 million for cancer research and care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
