OAKVILLE, ONTARIO – Sunset Grill Restaurants Ltd. is bringing back its popular annual Pancake Tuesday fundraiser in support of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) on February 21, 2023, after a three-year hiatus brought on due to the pandemic.

On Shrove Tuesday, franchised Sunset Grill locations across Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick will be offering pancakes for only a loonie in support of CCS and Canadians living with cancer.

$1 contribution will be made to the Canadian Cancer Society from each Sunset Grill pancake sold.

A $1 contribution will be made to CCS from each Sunset Grill pancake sold to help fund important research and programs for people affected by cancer and their families. 2023 marks the chain’s 13^th year hosting the fundraiser.
