Northwest Florida-Area McDonald’s® Provides More Ways for Customers to “Give A Hand®” to Families in Need On Thursday, November 10, McDonald’s® restaurants across Northwest Florida will celebrate McHappy Day® in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities®. Local residents are invited to visit a participating U.S. McDonald’s® restaurant through November 20 to show their support for local families in need by purchasing a paper “Give A Hand.” New this year, McDonald’s customers can donate to the Charity in varying denominations - $1, $3, or $5 - and all proceeds from the “Give A Hand” fundraiser will support RMHC® and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida (RMHC-NWFL). “Since opening the doors to our new 26-bedroom facility in August 2010, we have served more than 1,000 families of ill or injured children,” said Victoria Burton, Regional Development Manager at RMHC-NWFL. “Last year we received more than $13,000 from the McHappy Day and ‘Give A Hand’ fundraiser. McDonald’s Owner/Operators across Northwest Florida are proud to support RMHC-NWFL and encourage their customers to participate in the ‘Give A Hand’ fundraiser to continue working together as a community to help local families with seriously ill children.” In addition to the annual in-restaurant fundraiser, customers can also participate in the “Give A Hand” online sweepstakes. Customers are invited to write messages of support for RMHC on their hand, take a picture, and submit it online at http://bit.ly/mcdgah for the chance to help RMHC and win prizes. Each day throughout the campaign, three winners will be selected at random from the submitted hand photos to receive a McDonald’s-branded prize pack, $250 cash prize, and a $500 donation in their name to their local RMHC Chapter. As a token of appreciation for customers joining McDonald’s to support families in need, everyone who submits a photo of their hand will receive an electronic coupon for a free McCafe’ beverage with the purchase of a Happy Meal®.
