Since 1991, McHappy Day has been bringing Australians together to raise vital funds for Ronald McDonald House® Australia.
It’s the McHappiest time of the year! As the largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House® Australia, McHappy Day raises vital funds to help support families with children who are ill or injured stay together when it matters most. The McHappiest time of the year is back, bringing plenty of opportunities to spread smiles, have fun and make a difference, from limited-edition merchandise and Helping Hands to donations and a Big Mac® with a bigger purpose. McHappy Day is more than a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of community, kindness and the power of coming together to support families when they need it most.
Together, Australians have raised over $83 million since McHappy Day began, helping Ronald McDonald House across Australia provide essential services including Houses, Family Rooms, Family Accommodation, Family Hubs, Family Retreats, Hospitality Carts and the Learning Program, providing families with comfort, care and support throughout their child’s healthcare journey. Every dollar raised helps Ronald McDonald House® Australia continue to surround families with the resources, services and support they need when it matters most.
