On May 10, 2023, McDonald’s restaurants in Midland and Elmvale once again partnered with the GBGH Foundation for McHappy Day®. The one-day event raised a record-breaking $30,000! The GBGH Foundation received $15,000 to support the purchase of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine for GBGH. The remaining funds support Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto.
The GBGH Foundation expresses their heartfelt appreciation for Mark & Carol Cruden, who continue to support the hospital through this event, and their teams at the Midland, Elmvale and Midland Walmart McDonalds restaurants.
