World Children’s Day, McDonald’s worldwide annual fundraiser, helps to raise millions of dollars each year for Ronald McDonald House Charities and other children’s causes.
Through the Olympic Champion Crew and McDonald’s Champion Kids programs, McDonald’s brought crew members and kids from around the world to Beijing, China to experience the 2008 Olympic Games.
Giving back to our communities
From the beginning, it’s been one of our core values. We take seriously the responsibilities that come with being a leader and look to leverage our size, scope and resources to help make the world a better place.
For McDonald’s, giving back comes in many shapes and sizes. It can be a franchisee sponsoring his/her local youth athletic team. It may bring to mind our well-known support of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Or it can involve Olympic sponsorship and feeding the athletes.
Whatever the shape it takes, the intent remains the same – to make a positive difference in the lives of our customers and the communities where we operate.
