Donations

Each Ronald McDonald House is independently operated by its own charitable organization, and is supported by individual and corporate donors. McDonald's restaurants in Canada hold an annual fundraising event called McHappy Day on which a portion of proceeds from all food and beverage items sold goes directly to RMHCC and other local children's charities. May 11, 2022 marked McDonald’s Canada’s 28th McHappy Day. The 2022 event raised more than $5.7 million to support families with sick children across Canada.
