A new fundraising event will highlight great tasting food in Vernon, and benefit a local charity.

The Golden Burger Challenge is being held from October 11–24 with participants encouraged to try ten burgers at ten restaurants over 12 days, and then rate the food.

North Okanagan Community Life Society (NOCLS) is hosting the first-time event with the winning restaurant being awarded the the Best Burger Golden Trophy.

“Although this is a fundraiser for NOCLS, we are striving to involve the community in this fun event to support our local sponsors, and drive local and tourist traffic back to our amazing local establishment after a few very tough years,” the society told Vernon Matters.

People are asked to go to, or order out, from one of the participating restaurants from now until Oct. 24 and order the NOCLS challenge burger. After enjoying the food, visitors can scan the QR code and follow the steps to rate the burger.

The challenge is sponsored by 107.5 Beach Radio, Vernon FreshCo, Davidson Lawyers, Sproing Creative and DTO
