Ultimate Burger Experience
With your help, the Mid America Chapter may benefit $25,000 from an Omaha Steaks Facebook application.

Omaha Steaks will donate a minimum of $5,000 to each of the four charitable organizations and the organization receiving the most virtual burger votes will receive a $25,000 donation. The contest lasts until Feb. 29, 2012. Build your burger today and help the National MS Society receive more funds to provide programs and services for people affected by MS.
