LAKE LIFE BURGER

Burger of the Month raises over $1,400 for Sylvan Lake Community Partners Association

Dec 13, 2019 | 5:40 AM

RED DEER- Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre was the Cilantro & Chive guest chef for the Burger of the Month Program for November.

He was eager to help give back to his community through the Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners Association (CPA).

His “Lake Life” burger included The Ranch Gate Market grass fed beef patty, smoked cheddar, crispy onions, 2 strips of bacon, basil aioli, and a drizzle of hot sauce on a brioche bun with one hot wing and one salt + pepper wing on top.

Two dollars from every burger sold went directly to Sylvan Lake Community Partners Association, which creates hope and support for at-risk children, families and individuals through information, referrals, services and programs. Their mission is to provide and connect individuals in need with the essentials of life including food, clothing and shelter.

Thanks to the Burger of the Month program, Sean handed over a cheque for $1424.

Donations like this one help ensure CPA can continue to provide services and programs to Sylvan Lake and area residents for free; programs like Coats 4 Kids and Families, Free Annual Community Christmas Dinner, Children’s Clothing and Equipment Swap, Income Tax Program for low-income families and seniors, Infant/Toddler Food Bank, Tools 4 School, and Medi-Lend.

Mayor McIntyre said “I’m so happy I was able to team up with Cilantro and Chive to support Sylvan Lake Community Partners. The programs and services at Community Partners help thousands of people every year, and the burger of the month was a delicious way to lend a hand in that effort. I’m grateful to the team at Cilantro and Chive for reaching out and working with me to show such love to Sylvan Lake. It’s mighty neighbourly.

The Burger of the Month program has given back over $60,000 to local charities over the past 35 months.
