McHappy Day raises $5,087 for Vancouver’s Ronald McDonald House
The local McDonald’s restaurant celebrated its 23rd McHappy Day on Wednesday, May 4, by raising $5,087 for the Vancouver Ronald McDonald House.
“While every day is a special day at McDonald’s, on this one day, we bring together our employees, our guests, our suppliers and our friends in the community to raise money for children in need across the Canada,” franchise owners Kevin and Cathy Blakely told The Current.
Here are some photos from the day-long event, that saw locally noteworthy individuals such as Mayor Mark McKee, don aprons and fill the culinary orders placed by McDonald’s diners:
