Halton Hills celebrates McHappy Day, with proceeds from each sale going to local and national charities.

McHappy Day is upon us, and with that comes another opportunity for local residents to support the Georgetown Hospital Foundation (GHF).

A percentage of sales at both the Georgetown and Acton McDonald’s locations today (May 8) will help purchase a new external fetal monitor for the local hospital’s tiniest patients, in addition to supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).

Ronald McDonald Houses provide a place for families to stay nearby while their children are receiving hospital care.

"Across Canada, the impact of McHappy Day is felt every day by families who rely on RMHC to stay close to their sick child during the most unexpected and challenging time in their lives," said Kate Horton, RMHC Canada's president and CEO.

"While the impact of our national mission is far-reaching, the need for RMHC is great and growing.”

McHappy Days have raised more than $92.5 million to date for RMHC and other charities across the country.
