McDonald’s holds 30th McHappy Day

If you’re experiencing a Big Mac attack, Wednesday May 8th was a great day to have one – it was McHappy Day.  So if you are planning to hit the Golden Arches for some  Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun, or any other item, your purchase helps support families with sick children.

 

At the Scenic Drive location in Lethbridge, the preparations for the important day, including decorating took days to plan and execute, and donations started coming in more than two weeks ago.

 

Last year, McHappy Day raised over $7.5 million in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities and local children’s charities across Canada. This year marks the 30th McHappy Day.
