Big Mac Burgers, Big Donations, Bigger Purpose: Mchappy Day 2025 Raises $4.8 Million

November 27, 2025 by Roxane Manley

Macca’s extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The results are in, and Aussies have once again rallied behind McHappy Day, and shown their generosity in a big way, raising an extraordinary $4.8M for Ronald McDon­ald House Charities (RMHC) Thanks to the generosity of Macca’s crew and customers, more than 30,000 nights together will be provided to families supported by RMHC across Australia.

The funds raised through McHappy Day will help RMHC deliver its full range of vi­tal Programs including Houses, Family Rooms, Family Retreats, Hospitality Carts and the Learning Program – all designed to provide comfort, care and support to fami­lies when and where they need it most.

Aussies showed up in incredible num­bers to support McHappy Day 2025 by:

Rocking Silly Socks – Grimace and Ham­burglar designs brought smiles and style, Wearing Bucket Hats – Showing heart from head to toe, Purchasing Helping Hands – Coloured in and displayed proudly in res­taurants and homes, Donating online – Every click made a difference and Buying a Big Mac, with a BIGGER purpose – $2 from every Big Mac sold on McHappy Day went directly to RMHC Barbara Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for RMHC Australia, said: “It’s truly heartwarming to see the incredible generosity shown on McHappy Day. We couldn’t have achieved this result without the support of Australians everywhere – from Macca’s crew and Licensees to every customer who bought a Big Mac, a pair of Silly Socks or a Helping Hand for a cause that means so much to families with children who are ill or injured.

“Every dollar raised makes an impact.

Thanks to you, we can continue to ease the journey for families.”

McHappy Day is the largest annual fund­raiser for RMHC. Since launching in 1991, McHappy Day has raised over $83 million, helping RMHC support more than 69,000 families every year.
