On 10 November 2013, I witnessed the flag-off of 150 volunteers at MacDonald's at J.E.M Mall as
they hit the streets from 1.30pm-5.30pm, to raise awareness for Ronald McDonald House Charities
(RMHC). RHMC is an independent charity that has been running a "home-away-from-home" facility
- Ronald McDonald House(RMH) at National University Hospital (NUH) for families with children
in intensive care since January this year.
Simultaneously, there was 350 other volunteers from other McDonald's outlets hitting the streets to
raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities(RMHC) by selling Ronald Smiles at $2 each.
Every year, McDonald's will have a McHappy Day and this year, they are inviting the public to help
raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).
The Ronald McDonald's Big Red Shoes Bench will be located at 4 different locations around the
island.
Dhoby Ghaut (NEL) MRT Station - 26 October- 1 November 2013
Harbourfront (NEL) MRT Station- 2 November-8 November 2013
Toa Payoh Bus Interchange - 9 November-15 November 2013
Boon Lay Bus Interchange -16 November-22 November 2013
If you have an Instagram account, do your part by submitting photos of yourself posing at the
bench and include the hashtag #mchappydaysg
For every photo, McDonald's will donate $1, capped at 5000 entries, to RHMC.
All proceeds from both McHappy Day fundraising activities will go to RHMC to support its
operations of RMH at NUH and McDonald's is looking to raise a total of $20,000.
