Australians raise $1.9 million for seriously ill children and their families on McHappy Day
On Saturday 15 November, thousands of McDonald's customers across Australia supported McHappy Day and tucked into McCafe Byron Bay Cookies, Big Macs and 'Mighty Me, Mighty Us' Happy Meals to help generate an impressive $1.9 million donation.
McHappy Day is the largest annual fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), an independent charity that creates, finds and supports programs across Australia that help seriously ill children and their families.
"$1.9 million is a record result for McHappy Day and further highlights the generosity and spirit of our community," said McDonald's Australia CEO Peter Bush. "We are thankful to everyone from volunteers, celebrities, generous donors and customers, notable members of the community and the wonderful McDonald's crew and franchisees who have helped us raise this incredible amount."
In addition to the amazing support received by McDonald's official McHappy Day ambassadors Kyle Sandilands, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Lincoln Lewis, Ricki-Lee Coulter and Elka Graham, hundreds of celebrities worked at McDonald's restaurants nationwide.
"McHappy Day is a great opportunity for all Australians to help make a difference and ensure that these invaluable programs continue for the benefit of thousands of families across Australia each year and we thank the community for their generous support," said Ronald McDonald House Charities CEO Malcolm Coutts.
