Under this collaboration, Grillado’s hosts fundraising events, and contributes a portion of the sales; it further holds specific events to collect funds and generate awareness for cancer research. To top all that, the restaurant will come out with a limited-edition anniversary menu, where a portion of each sale will be channeled towards McGill’s research effort. It enables customers to savor their favorite food items proud of the great work they are doing for a noble cause like fighting one of the biggest health issues that our age may have ever seen.
