McHappy Day was a record-breaking success across the country.
McDonald’s Canada says over $11.3 million was raised for Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local children’s charities in communities across Canada.
Officials say each purchase made last Thursday contributed to the record-breaking fundraising total, showing how small actions can make a big difference to support families when they need it most.
Martin Bock – Area Supervisor for the McDonald restaurants in Olds, Innisfail, and Sundre – says the community rallied behind them and provided lots of support.
According to Bock, they collected $15,483.76 at those three stores during McHappy Day on May 8th. The total is up by over $4,800 ($4,844) from the previous year ($10,640.02)
Olds raised the most out of those three locations with $7,740 which he notes is very impressive and super appreciated by everybody. Bock says that is close to $3,000 more than in 2024, so they were definitely up significantly here in Olds.
This year marked the 31st McHappy Day in Canada and the grand total that has been raised during more than three decades thanks the generosity of Canadians is over $111.3 million to-date.
