\"\"Today is McHappy Day<\/a>!<\/p>\n

On McHappy Day, you can be a hero just by ordering McDonald\u2019s. That\u2019s because a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold all day supports Ronald McDonald House<\/a>\u00a0and families with sick children across Canada. Doing good just got tastier. All day on May 8, $0 delivery fee* will be offered on all McDelivery orders across Canada, available through the McDonald\u2019s app, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes, and UberEats.<\/p>\n

1 in 4 Canadians has either been supported by Ronald McDonald House or know someone who has. Over the past 30 McHappy Day events, $100+ million has been raised in support of children and families across Canada.<\/p>\n

Mammoth replaces the inaugural season name: Utah Hockey Club, which was also one of the finalists. Yeti was in the running but taken out of consideration when the cooler company could not come to a copyright agreement with the team.<\/p>\n
