Who likes to eat burgers?! 🙋♀️🙋🙋♂️
Yup, us too.
That’s why we’re so excited to be taking part in the NOCLS Golden Burger Challenge! We get to eat burgers, support local restaurants and $5 from every burger goes to NOCLS to help support people with disabilities live independently.
How awesome is that?!
Team “Celebrity” Judges
Do The Okanagan and Hello Okanagan:
We want you to participate along with us! Here’s how it works:
Competition opens to the public October 11th and runs until October 24th - that’s right, you get two weeks to eat as many burgers as you can.
There are 10 local restaurants participating. Order from one, order from all ten or somewhere in-between. There is no minimum number to try to participate!
All burgers are $20 or less and $5 of that goes directly to NOCLS!
These burgers are specially made for this competition! Get them now because they are not a typical menu item.
Order your burger to eat in OR take-out. Each burger will have a scannable QR code on the bag or on your table. Scan it with your phone to rate the burger on presentation, originality, creativity and yummyness!
Each vote you make enters you into the contest to win one of three awesome prizes!
The votes will be tallied and one burger will win the title of Golden Burger Champion! Who will be victorious?
