McHappy Day 2026: ‘Very successful’ for Olds location

McHappy Day raised funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) on Wednesday, May 6th.

The program helps families with seriously ill children stay close to care.

The McDonald’s location in the Town of Olds raised nearly $6,000 this year, so it was a very successful day and their staff is passing along thanks to everyone in community who supported them.

In addition to buying a meal, customers were able to donate by rounding up their order or purchasing McHappy Day socks.
