WPDH – For lovers of the Shamrock Shake, you’re in luck! The minty milkshake is back.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Shamrock Shake Fundraiser, where Mickey D’s raised funds to build the first Ronald McDonald House.
They partnered with the Philadelphia Eagles back in 1974 to create the RMHC initiative.
Maybe the Shamrock Shake will bring them some good luck for this Sunday’s Super Bowl?
For every Shamrock Shake purchased from Feb. 10 to Mar. 23 at participating McDonald’s, 25 cents will be donated to Ronald McDonald House, a charity that provides hospital-area housing and other services at sites around the country to families with ill or injured children.
They have a goal of raising $5 million, which could provide 50,000 overnight stays for families staying at RMHC programs.
Keep an eye out in the next week or so, for the Shamrock Shake to return to your local McDonald’s!
And remember, 25 cents from each shake purchased goes to helping sick kids around the country!
Sounds like a “win win” to me. You get the minty deliciousness of a shamrock shake, and you’re helping those in need …
