The largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in Australia, McHappy Day is instrumental in raising funds for the charity, which helps keep families together while their seriously ill child undergoes treatment.

Residents can show their support by purchasing a Big Mac on Saturday, November 16 with every $2 of every sale going directly to RMHC.

They can also pick up a pair of $5 silly socks or a helping hand for $2, $5 or $50 at McDonalds, Echuca from October 27.

“With more families turning to us for support than ever before, it means that the funds raised from McHappy Day are instrumental in ensuring we can continue to offer the services we do,” RMHC Australia chief executive Barbara Ryan said.

“A bucket brigade is a fun and simple way that volunteers can come together and make a difference to the lives of families with seriously ill and injured children.”

Since its inception in Australia in 1991, McHappy Day has raised more than $46 million for RMHC.
