==Charitable contributions and services==
Burger King has two in-house national charitable organizations and programs. One is the Have It Your Way Foundation, a U.S.-based non-profit ([[501(c)(3)]]) corporation with multiple focuses on hunger alleviation, disease prevention and community education through scholarship programs at colleges in the U.S.<ref name="bk-hiyw foundation">{{cite web |url=http://www.bk.com/companyinfo/community/hiywfoundation.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071027124943/http://www.bk.com/companyinfo/community/hiywfoundation.aspx |archive-date=October 27, 2007 |title=the HIYW foundation |publisher=Burger King Corporation |access-date=September 26, 2007 }}</ref> The other charitable organization is the McLamore Foundation, also a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation that provides scholarships to students in the U.S. and its territories.<ref name="bk-mclamore foundation">{{cite web |url=http://www.bk.com/companyinfo/community/mclamore.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071027125847/http://www.bk.com/companyinfo/community/mclamore.aspx |archive-date=October 27, 2007 |title=the McLamore Foundation |publisher=Burger King Corporation |access-date=September 26, 2007 }}</ref>

In various regions across the United States, Burger King and its franchises have aligned themselves with several charitable organizations that support research and treatment of juvenile cancer. Each year, these coalitions hold a fund raising drive called "A Chance for Kids", in which Burger King restaurants sell [[lottery]]-style [[scratch cards]] for $1. Each card produces a winning prize that is usually a food or beverage product, but includes (rarer) items such as shopping sprees or trips. In the [[Northeastern United States|Northeast]], BK has affiliated itself with the [[Major League Baseball]] team the [[Boston Red Sox]] and its charitable foundation, the [[Jimmy Fund]]. The group runs the contest in Boston. In the New York City area, it operates the contest in association with the Burger King Children's Charities of Metro New York and the [[New York Yankees]]. Funds raised in these areas go to support the [[Dana–Farber Cancer Institute]], located in Boston.<ref name="jf-chfk">{{cite web|url=http://www.jimmyfund.org/cor/special/burger/default.html |title=Burger King A Chance for Kids |publisher=The Jimmy Fund |date=July 1, 2007 |access-date=September 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011193553/http://jimmyfund.org/cor/special/burger/default.html |archive-date=October 11, 2007 }}</ref><ref name="jf-nyc">{{cite web|url=http://www.jimmyfund.org/abo/press/pressreleases/2002/072602b.asp |title=Burger King Children's Charities of Metro New York to help Small Fries become Large Fries |work=The Jimmy Fund |date=July 26, 2002 |access-date=March 29, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071026032423/http://www.jimmyfund.org/abo/press/pressreleases/2002/072602b.asp |archive-date=October 26, 2007 }}</ref> In Nebraska, the company is affiliated with the Liz's Legacy Cancer Fund "BK Beat Cancer for Kids" program at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center at the [[University of Nebraska Medical Center]] in [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]].<ref name="bk-bcfk">{{cite web |url=http://www.helpbeatcancerforkids.com/ |title=BK Beat Cancer for Kids |publisher=University of Nebraska Medical Center |access-date=March 9, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810102227/http://www.helpbeatcancerforkids.com/ |archive-date=August 10, 2009}}</ref> In the [[Pittsburgh]] region, it funded the establishment of the Burger King Cancer Caring Center, a support organization for the families and friends of cancer patients.<ref name="bk-cc">{{cite web|url=http://www.cancercaring.org/aboutbkccc.html |title=Burger King Cancer Caring Center |access-date=September 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061223172553/http://www.cancercaring.org/aboutbkccc.html |archive-date=December 23, 2006 }}</ref>
