McHappy Day
McHappy Day is on May 8th 2024!!
Every year, McDonald’s Canada franchisees and crew across the country celebrate McHappy Day, an annual day of community giving in support of Ronald McDonald Houses and other local children’s charities.
McHappy Day continues to play a large role in providing Ronald McDonald House Newfoundland and Labrador with the funds needed to support our House and the families we serve. Since McHappy Day was first celebrated in 1977, McDonald’s Canada, its franchisees and generous guests, have contributed nearly $66 million for Ronald McDonald Houses and local Canadian children’s charities.
McHappy Day is Wednesday, May 8, 2024, this year marks the 30th McHappy Day event.
On McHappy Day, a portion of proceeds from every McDonald’s menu item sold all day long goes to RMHC NL to raise critical funds for our programs and the families with sick children we support.

We want to thank each and every one of you, your management, your restaurant crew, your volunteers and your customers for an outstanding McHappy Day in support of sick or injured children and their families !! Ronald McDonald House in St. John’s officially opened in September 2012 and since that time we have accommodated 1,700 families with a sick or injured child travelling for medical reasons. These families were able to stay comfortable and safe within minutes of our province’s children’s hospital and enjoy all the programs and services that Ronald McDonald House has to offer. With the average cost of hotels in St. John’s being $197/night, we estimate that Ronald McDonald House has saved families more than $9.4 M in the past 10 years. Everyday these numbers continue to grow and everyday there are new families needing the programs and services at Ronald McDonald House.
