I’ve always thought McHappy Day®
was a great campaign. But I never really knew much about it, until now. The
concept is simple. For one day local communities across Canada raise money that
will help support children in need and their families through children’s
charities.
Last year McHappy Day® raised
$3.4 Million. Can we do better this year? You bet! Already I’ve seen all kinds
of organizations who have put together amazing and creative fundraisers. And
that makes me smile
On Wednesday, May 2, 2012 let’s
show everyone what matters most. Local community leaders, politicians, media
and sports personalities as well as special guest volunteers have all supported
kids in need in the past. But, we need your help, too.
So get ready for McHappy Day
and go to your local McDonalds restaurant. More than 1,430 McDonald’s
restaurants in Canada will donate $1 from every Big Mac® sandwich, Happy Meal®,
Premium Roast Coffee and Premium Tea sold to local charities like Ronald McDonald
House.
Here’s something else I didn’t
realize… did you know that McHappy Day in Canada has been so successful that it
is now celebrated annually worldwide? Now McDonald’s restaurants the world over
join hands for a great cause.
364 Days of Giving provides
Canadians who want to show their McHappy Day support all year long by texting MCHAPPY to 30333 to make a $5
donation* to RMHC of Canada and by “Liking” McDonald’s Canada on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsCanada).
To receive McHappy Day updates from across the country, Canadians are
encouraged to follow McDonald’s Canada on Twitter (www.twitter.com/McD_Canada).
Now that’s something to
really SMILE about!
