On Wednesday, May 8, McDonald’s is celebrating the 20th McHappy Day in Canada and they need our help!

For every Big Mac, Happy Meal or hot McCafe beverage that’s sold on May 8, McDonald’s will donate $1 to local children’s charities, including Ronald McDonald Houses. Last year, that totaled $8,000,000!

Did You Know?

  • Last year, on McHappy Day, McDonalds Canada sold 402,802 Big Macs, 207, 246 Happy Meals and 709,907 hot McCafe beverages?
  • 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants will be celebrating McHappy Day on May 8
  • 10,000 families stay in Ronald McDonald Houses each year

How you can help (super easy, I promise!):

  • On May 8, go to McDonald’s and order a Big Mac, Happy Meal or a hot McCafe beverage (or all three!) 
  • Spread the word to your Facebook friends and on Twitter using #McHappyDay
