Five Counties client Tripp is dressed for success, and encourages everyone to come out May 8 to show their support.
Your Big Mac meal will be coming with a side of hope for Five Counties Children’s Centre.
They recently announced they have been chosen as the local children’s charity that will benefit from the annual McHappy Day campaign. The campaign launches April 1, and the fundraising effort will be headlined by the main ‘McHappy Day’ on May 8 at the McDonald’s locations in Cobourg and Port Hope.
Lyn Giles, Director of Fund Development at Five Counties, says more.
To support Five Counties, local residents are encouraged to visit a McDonald’s location in Cobourg or Port Hope. Giles tells us how it works.
On the actual McHappy Day, Five Counties staff, volunteers, families and supporters will be at McDonald’s locations to collect donations and thank visitors for dropping by.
All money raised from McHappy Day will go towards Five Counties’ Building Abilities For Life Campaign, which funds priority, high-demand services like speech therapy and occupational therapy. Giles tells us the rest.
During this announcement, McDonald’s franchise owner Lisa Wilson says the Port Hope and Cobourg restaurants have raised over $145,000 since 2014 for local children’s charities and Ronald McDonald House Charities through McHappy Day.
