$1 will be donated to The Keg Spirit Foundation for every entr\u00e9e purchased using Interac<\/em> Debit in all Keg Restaurants across Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n

TORONTO, November 20, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 The Keg Restaurant Ltd. (\u201cThe Keg Steakhouse + Bar\u201d) and Interac Association\/Acxsys Corporation are pleased to announce a new collaboration in support of The Keg Spirit Foundation. This holiday season from November 1, to December 31, $1 will be donated to The Keg Spirit Foundation for every entr\u00e9e purchased using Interac<\/em> Debit, up to $60,000, in any Keg restaurant across Canada. Interac Association\/Acxsys Corporation are the organizations behind the Interac<\/em> brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be able to support local youth charities across Canada through The Keg Spirit Foundation,\u201d says Carolyn Torhjelm, Executive Director of The Keg Spirit Foundation. \u201cOur goal is to recognize organizations that mirror the mentorship The Keg has provided to so many young people over the years. With a brand like Interac supporting our charitable efforts we can reach that many more.\u201d<\/p>\n

This collaboration not only supports The Keg Spirit Foundation, but it also drives Interac<\/em> Debit transactions at the store level, providing value for both organizations. When guests pay for their meal using Interac<\/em> Debit, they are choosing to pay with one of the most secure, lowest cost payment options available to Canadian merchants.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years we have championed the merchant community and look forward to working with The Keg Restaurant Ltd. on this win-win initiative,\u201d says Caroline Hubberstey, Head of External Affairs at Interac Association and Acxsys Corporation. \u201cEvery time a guest chooses to pay for their entr\u00e9e using Interac<\/em> Debit, we will donate one dollar to the Keg Spirit Foundation. It\u2019s just another reason to feel good about using your own money.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Keg Spirit Foundation was established in 2001 to commemorate The Keg\u2019s 30th anniversary and the charitable giving led by David Aisenstat, President and CEO of The Keg Steakhouse and Bar. To date, The Keg Spirit Foundation has raised and donated over $8 million to over 300 charities across North America. The recipients of these funds range from large, national charities such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and Free The Children, to neighborhood organizations which mentor young people in equally important ways.<\/p>\n
