It’s the biggest McHappy Day Stripes
Run yet as this year’s Davao and Manila fun runs gather close to 7,000 participants
in support of helping kids learn how to read.
Last December 5, McDonald's gathered
close to 4,000 runners at Bonifacio Global City to run for a cause at the McHappy
Day Stripes Run 2015. This year, McDonald's lined up fun race categories for
every member of the family, exciting surprises and various fun fair activities.
The annual McHappy Day Stripes Run is
McDonald’s Philippines’ fundraising event in support of Ronald McDonald House
Charities’ flagship program, Ronald McDonald Read To Learn. The program, in
partnership with the Department of Education, aims to help Grade 1 and 2 public
school students from all over the country learn how to read. Beneficiaries of
Ronald McDonald Read to Learn are provided with a set of big books and training
for teachers who will facilitate the program.
With proceeds from the run in Manila
and Davao held last November 28, McDonald's has raised over 2 million pesos to
share the wonderful gift of reading to more kids nationwide. Since it began in
2002, the program has helped over 11.5 million kids in the 7,500 partnership
schools.
"McDonald's has always had a
special spot for children. We know the best way to make a difference in their
lives is to help them learn how to read and have a chance for a better future.
Through initiatives like the McHappy Day Stripes Run, McDonald's is able to
open opportunities for families to help while having fun." said Kenneth
Yang, McDonald's Philippines President and CEO.
Making this year’s McHappy Day
Stripes Run more memorable was the support of McDonald’s brand ambassadors
Alden Richards, Enrique Gil, Xian Lim, Matteo Guidicelli, Luis Manzano, Toni
and Alex Gonzaga, Jeron Teng and Alonzo Muhlach. Other celebrities who showed
their stripes in support of the Ronald McDonald Read to Learn Program include, Tim
Yap, Mike Tan, Pancho Magno, Rich Asuncion, Ryza Cenon, Kristoffer Martin,
Martin del Rosario, Joyce Ching, Derrick Monasterio, and Julian Trono.
