On Wednesday, May 10th, 2023, Hymers Private Wealth helped Support McDonalds McHappy Day at the Harvey Avenue Location in Kelowna. Rhonda, Kuan, and Pam were on hand to serve up our best! Ice Cream cones, Fries, you name it, we did it!

We had a great time, almost too much fun, and we were so happy to be a part of this great cause. Thank you to Franchise owner Tim Pink and the McDonald's Harvey Location team for having us and for the positive difference you make to families and children in our community.

Facts:

  • McHappy Day is McDonald's Canada's largest charity-driven program. Since the first Ronald McDonald House® opened its doors in Toronto, Canada, in 1981, McDonald's fundraising programs like McHappy Day have helped RMHC support nearly 450,000 families across Canada.

  • The 16 Ronald McDonald Houses and 17 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in Canada give families a place to stay together when traveling for their sick child's treatment.

  • In an average year, RMHC supports over 26,000 families from more than 3,400 communities across Canada.

  • Every day, McDonald's Canada, along with our independent franchisees, and guests, support families receiving support from RMHC by purchasing Happy Meals and RMHC Cookies and through coin box and kiosk donations.

  • Last year, McDonald's Canada set a goal to donate over $70 million to RMHC by 2026. This will help to nearly double the number of bedrooms for families across Canada over the next 10 years (2022-2032)

In an average year, RMHC across Canada supports over 26,000 families and we couldn’t do it without your help. With your support this McHappy Day we can help more families from your community stay close, because when families stay together, sick children get stronger.

A story shared by a local woman who lived with her family at Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver for 367 days over two years while her son was having cancer treatments. In her words “It is the best place in the world that you never want to have to be”.
