On May 11, McDonald’s restaurants in Scarborough joined more than 1,400 restaurants across the country to celebrate the 18th McHappy Day. Rouge Valley Health System Foundation’s Buy a Bed campaign will benefit from a portion of the proceeds.
On McHappy Day, $1 from every Big Mac® sandwich, McMuffin® sandwich and Happy Meal® sold, is donated to local children’s charities across the country. In six Scarborough-area restaurants, partial proceeds were being earmarked for the Buy a Bed campaign to purchase new hospital beds for Rouge Valley Centenary.
“As a business owner in Scarborough, I feel strongly about supporting our local community hospital,” said Dale Bartlett, McDonald’s Owner/Operator. “Rouge Valley Centenary deserves all of the support it receives, and this campaign will benefit our customers and our staff because many of them count on this hospital for their care.”
To help celebrate this special day, local celebrities appeared at the following local McDonald’s restaurants for special events to help raise money for their local community hospital.
Port Union Rd./Hwy. 2; Malvern Town Centre; Markham/Finch; Walmart and Markham/Progress.
McDonald’s restaurant owners, school board officials, Foundation staff and volunteers, as well as local politicians, attended at various times throughout the day to serve food and help with activities.
