McHappy Day in Prince George and across Canada was a record-breaking success.
McDonald’s Canada said over $11.3 million was raised for Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local children’s charities in communities across Canada.
$103,000 of that was tallied in Prince George.
The strong showing also secured Ronald McDonald House Charities Family Space at UHNBC.
It includes access for all families with pediatric patients receiving care at the hospital.
In addition, it will provide relief for families from rural and remote communities dealing with cost and logistics of an extended hospital stay.
Officials say each purchase made last Thursday (May 8th) contributed to the record-breaking fundraising total, showing how small actions can make a big difference to support families when they need it most.
This year marked the 31st McHappy Day in Canada, bringing the grand total to over $111.3 million raised to-date.
