On Wednesday, March 11, McDonald’s Owner-Operators across Greater Atlanta, North Georgia, and Columbus will celebrate a historic milestone by hosting a region-wide “Give Back Day.” From 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., more than 300 participating locations will donate 20% of all sales to Ronald McDonald House Atlanta.
This massive collective effort ensures that families with ill or injured children can stay near the life-saving care they need at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta. March 11 holds a prestigious place in Georgia’s history. On this date in 1979, the first Ronald McDonald House Atlanta opened its doors. It was only the fourth such house in the world,
sparking a global movement of tiered support for pediatric patients and their families.
Now, 47 years later, local McDonald’s operators are honoring that legacy by turning one day of sales into a significant gift for the charity. “For 47 years, our restaurants have been more than just places to eat; they have been the frontline of support for Ronald McDonald House Atlanta,” said DJ Mitchell, local McDonald’s owner operator.
“On March 11, we are asking our neighbors in Atlanta, Columbus, and across North Georgia to join us. By simply enjoying a meal at McDonald’s, you help Ronald McDonald House Atlanta provide a home away from home for families during their most difficult moments.”
Community members can participate by visiting any of the 300 participating locations on March 11. In addition to the day’s proceeds, customers are encouraged to “Round-Up” their order total to the nearest dollar to provide further support for Ronald McDonald House Atlanta.
