McHappy Day is a charitable fundraising event run by McDonald’s to support Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). It takes place in various countries on different dates, with proceeds from purchases often earmarked to RMHC programs and related children’s charities. Key points to know

• Purpose: Raise funds to help keep families with hospitalized children together and supported.
• Typical format: A portion of proceeds from menu items sold on the event day, plus special charity activities or promotions, often including limited-edition items or donor options (such as “Socks for donation” or “Helping Hands” programs).
• Global presence: While the core idea is consistent worldwide, the exact date and local activities vary by country and region. For example, Canada and New Zealand have run McHappy Day events with country-specific promotions, dates, and RMHC chapters involved.

• Recent examples:
  • Canada: Traditionally around May; a day when a portion of sales supports RMHC Canada and local children’s charities.

* Australia: McHappy Day is a recent annual event with nationwide participation and RMHC Australia; Australia-specific promotions and dates are announced locally.

* New Zealand: McHappy Day promotions include Big Mac promotions and in-store activities, with donations benefiting RMHC NZ.
