The donations will support Ronald McDonald House and other children’s charities.
Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation and support to sick kids and their families.
“McHappy Day is always special and also a tradition for McDonald’s Restaurants across Canada,” said Don Lam from McDonald’s. “We bring together family, customers, employees, suppliers and other special guests to raise money to help the children in need,”
