Good afternoon!
Earlier today Richard McCarthy and myself were on location at McDonalds here in Dryden in support of McHappy Day! We chatted with our friends John and Alex as well as many team members that welcomed us with open arms. My first on location was so much fun seeing everyone come out for this amazing cause. Also, the personal stories that were shared with us, truly shows you how your support comes back ten-fold within the community.
If you would like to support these families as well as their sick kids who may need to use these facilities, head down to your local McDonalds. Ways you can support is to make your regular purchase, round that purchase up to the nearest dollar, purchase some McHappy day swag, as well as monetary donations. If you can’t make it today you’re not out of luck you can donate here: https://www.rmhccanada.ca/
Thanks for tagging along and enjoy these amazing pictures from our local McDonalds here in Dryden on McHappy day!
EDIT: Should have worn sunscreen!
