The McHappiest Time of the Year is back! McHappy Day returns on Wednesday 14th November, rallying Aussies to give back to Ronald McDonald House Australia with a fresh line-up of NEW limited-edition McHappy Day merch has already dropped!

‍

From Wednesday 14th October until midnight on McHappy Day (14th November), locals can step up for a good cause with this year's Silly Socks ($6.50), featuring fan-favourite characters Grimace and Hamburglar, or top off their look with all-new stonewash Cool Caps ($9.95).  

‍

100% of profits from merchandise sales go directly to Ronald McDonald House Australia, supporting essential services that provide comfort, care and connection for families with children who are ill or injured, helping them stay together when it matters most.

‍

Looking for even more ways to support McHappy Day? Aussies can also:

Lend a hand – Purchase a Helping Hand for $2, $10 or $50 and add your support to the thousands of Aussies backing Ronald McDonald House Australia.

Click, tap & donate – Head to mchappyday.org.au/donate and help support families with children who are ill or injured, wherever you are.

Buy a Big Mac with a BIGGER purpose – On McHappy Day, $2 from every Big Mac sold, whether purchased on its own or as part of a meal, will be donated to Ronald McDonald House® Australia.

‍

"Every year we're inspired by the generosity of our customers and communities. McHappy Day shows that when lots of people do something small, the collective impact can be extraordinary," said Tamika Wood, Regional Director for McDonald’s North Region.

‍

"Whether it’s picking up a pair of Silly Socks or a Cool Cap, purchasing a Helping Hand during McHappy Time, or coming in to grab a Big Mac on McHappy Day, there are so many simple ways for locals to get involved.

‍

“Every contribution helps Ronald McDonald House continue their incredible work supporting families and keeping them together during some of life's most challenging moments.

“We can't wait to see our community come together once again and help make this year's McHappy Day one to remember."

‍

Barbara Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for Ronald McDonald House Australia, said: “McHappy Day is one of the most important fundraising campaigns of the year for Ronald McDonald House in Australia, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who gets involved.

‍

"By purchasing a pair of Silly Socks, popping on a Cool Cap or making a donation, Australians are helping support families with children who are ill or injured when they need it most.

"The launch of this year's McHappy Day merchandise is the perfect opportunity to get involved early and show your support. McHappy Day is a great chance to make a small purchase that makes a big difference for Aussie families".

Organised by McDonald's Australia, McHappy Day brings communities together each year to support the largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Australia. Since 1991, Australians have helped raise more than $83 million through McHappy Day, enabling Ronald McDonald House across Australia to continue providing essential services and support to over 89,000 families annually.
