Burger Wars returns to Greater Sudbury in July
Sudbury Burger Wars 2025 begins, with $3/burger supporting L'Arche Sudbury programs and organizers aiming to top last year's $26,000. Sudbury Burger Wars is shifting from August to July this year, with 30 local hospitality businesses set to feature specialty burgers from July 1 to 31. A portion of the proceeds will support L'Arche Sudbury, an organization that provides housing and community programs for people with and without intellectual disabilities.

(Lyndsay Aelick/CTV News Northern Ontario) The annual fundraiser, launched in 2019 by the late Mitch Spiegel, originally supported NEO Kids. Last year, it redirected funds to L'Arche Sudbury, raising $26,000. Organizers aim to generate at least $35,000 in 2024, with $3 from each burger sold going to the cause. Gerry Lougheed, a Burger Wars spokesperson, announced a matching donation initiative by the Lougheed Foundation. 'Geoffrey said, 'Well, you and your grandson (Kiran) have such a great time. We should kind of support that,'' Lougheed said at the launch event on Wednesday, May 28 – National Burger Day. 'So today, he and I decided the first $25,000 will match... We're hoping to generate in excess of $50,000.'

The organization is fundraising for a fourth location – a 28-unit accessible residence on Bancroft Drive, estimated to cost $30 million. Jennifer Cawley Caruso, board chair of L'Arche Sudbury, said the capital campaign has secured about $2 million so far. 'We need commitment from the provincial government and from the federal government to help us in this endeavour,' she said. 'That's a work in progress... There's more than one way to do things and so we're exploring two or three different ways at the moment.'
