McDonald's Whitehorse see's $30k raised from McHappy Day campaign

WHITEHORSE - The results are in on McHappy Days from Whitehorse McDonalds.

It's been 3 weeks since McHappy Day at McDonald's across Canada, this year Whitehorse's restaurant raised over $30,000 to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and local charities.

The funds raised from McHappy Day will be used to provide much-needed assistance to families with sick children, allowing them to stay close to each other and the medical care their child requires.

McHappy Day is McDonald's largest charitable campaign in Canada. Since the first Ronald McDonald House opened its doors in Toronto, Canada in 1981, McDonald's fundraising programs like McHappy Day have helped RMHC support nearly 450,000 families across Canada
