SUNSET GRILL CELEBRATES 16 YEARS OF GIVING BACK WITH PANCAKE TUESDAY FUNDRAISER FOR THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY
OAKVILLE, ON, Jan. 28, 2026 /CNW/ - Sunset Grill will once again host its annual Pancake Tuesday fundraiser on Tuesday February 17, 2026, in support of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). The 2026 event marks the 16th year the restaurant brand has partnered with CCS to help support Canadians affected by cancer.
On February 17, guests can enjoy Sunset Grill's signature buttermilk pancakes for $2 each, with all franchised Sunset Grill locations across Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick participating in the fundraiser.
For every pancake sold, $2 will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society to help fund vital cancer research, patient support services and community programs for individuals and families impacted by cancer.
Since the fundraiser's inception, Sunset Grill and its guests have contributed significantly to CCS initiatives. In 2026, the organization aims to further increase its impact with a fundraising goal of $50,000.
"Sunset Grill is proud to continue its longstanding commitment to supporting the Canadian Cancer Society and advancing efforts to improve outcomes for people living with cancer," said Angelo Christou, founder and CEO of Sunset Grill Restaurants Ltd.
To date, more than $262,000 has been raised for CCS since the launch of Sunset Grill's Pancake Tuesday fundraiser in 2009.
"Cancer affects so many people in our local communities and advancing efforts to increase survival, prevent more cancers and improve the lives of people affected is vital," said Michelle Duggan, Vice President of Partnerships, Canadian Cancer Society. "We're grateful to Sunset Grill for continuing this beloved Pancake Tuesday tradition and for bringing people together in a way that fuels progress, supports families, and helps lead the way to a future without cancer."
Organizations and schools interested in placing bulk pancake orders may do so through the pre-order form available on Sunset Grill's website at sunsetgrill.ca/pancake-tuesday/. All orders must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on February 13, 2026.
