About McHappy Day

Taking place on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, McHappy Day is McDonald’s largest fundraising day of the year and one of the most meaningful days for families at Ronald McDonald House Toronto.

McDonald’s Canada is our Founding & Forever Partner, and their support makes a lasting impact on the families we serve. Funds raised on McHappy Day, along with year‑round support through Round Up, Happy Meals, Caring Cookies, kiosks, and coin boxes, help ensure families can stay together through complex, life-saving medical journeys.

Since its inception in 1977, McHappy Day has supported hundreds of thousands of families across Canada. On McHappy Day, a portion of proceeds from every food and beverage item sold — at McDonald’s restaurants across Canada, all day long — supports programs and services at Ronald McDonald House Chapters nationwide.

Last year alone, McHappy Day raised over $1.4 million for Ronald McDonald House Toronto, providing the equivalent of 6,140 nights of comfort for families with seriously ill children.

What your McHappy Day support makes possible

Every visit to McDonald’s on McHappy Day helps families stay close to their child during treatment — providing meals, rest, and space to stay together. 

In 2025, that support made it possible for:

4,724 families supported

Essential care and support provided through Ronald McDonald House Toronto and seven in-hospital Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms.

31,126 nights of comfort

A place for families to rest, regroup, and stay close — at the House and in Family Rooms across the GTA and in Sudbury.

28,970 meals prepared

Fresh, nourishing meals so caregivers can focus on their child, not what’s for dinner.

483,446 kilometres travelled from 457 communities

Families come from across Ontario and beyond to access specialized care — often travelling long distances to reach the treatment their child needs.
