The Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation is the beneficiary of this year’s McHappy Day (Grand McDon) proceeds from the McDonald’s franchises in Hawkesbury and Grenville. The HGH Foundation thanks franchise owner Louis Giguère for his generosity and long-time support of the HGH Foundation.
This year, McHappy Day will be held on Wednesday, May 8. Please stop by and support the HGH Foundation by making a donation or buying fun items at the restaurant, such as socks, sunglasses, light up wands, and even cute stuffed lions dressed as doctors. A portion of all menu purchases that day will also be donated to the HGH Foundation.
This year’s proceeds will support the Children Rehabilitation Program of Eastern Ontario. This program at HGH helps children regain their mobility, strength and flexibility, or it helps them adapt to their condition following an accident or illness. The program also helps children living with a developmental delay or other condition improve their coordination and their communication so they can reach their full potential. The program professionals provide assessment services and therapeutic follow-ups for patients.
“With these funds, we can purchase new equipment, therapy material and technological advancements that will provide more comprehensive care to the children in our community,” said HGH Clinic Lead and Speech Language Pathologist Carolyne Dion.
The HGH Foundation invites you to stop by one of the local McDonald’s restaurants on May 8 to help them raise the funds needed for this important equipment for children in our region.
“We are thrilled to be the chosen charity at two McDonald’s locations this year! Come visit HGH Foundation staff and volunteers at the Hawkesbury and Grenville McDonald’s Restaurants on McHappy Day. Stop by, have a meal, and feel good knowing you’re making a difference for kids in our community!” said HGH Foundation Executive Director Erin Tabakman.
