Wayback Burgers Helping to Raise Hope for Hunter

Wayback Burgers locations throughout Connecticut will continue to raise funds to support North Haven’s Hunter Pageau, 9, who is one of just 80 people worldwide diagnosed with SMARD – spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress – an extremely rare motor neuron disorder.

Through the end of August, guests can purchase raffle tickets at any Connecticut Wayback Burgers location for the chance to win prizes, including Wayback Burgers gift cards, Hope for Hunter T-shirts, a Pepsi cooler and more, and provide Hope for Hunter.

Money raised during Wayback Burgers’ Hope for Hunter fundraiser will go toward helping his family fund a trip to Italy, where Hunter hopes to take part in clinical trials for a groundbreaking (and potentially lifesaving) new treatment option developed by Italian researchers.

Each location will also have a collection jar at the register through September 29 – Hunter’s birthday – where guests can contribute donations. As an added boost, Wayback Burgers’ corporate office will match a portion of the funds raised.

Those interested in donating can also visit Hunter’s YouCaring site, where they can donate directly to the cause and receive information and updates posted by Hunter and his family.

All Wayback Burgers locations in Connecticut are participating, including: Bristol, Cheshire, Derby, East Windsor, Granby, Hamden, Meriden, Norwalk, Old Saybrook, Orange, Rocky Hill, Stratford, Torrington, Waterbury and West Hartford.
