Local McDonald’s Launch Annual Shamrock Campaign

Promotion Benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest

From March 6th to 16th, local McDonald’s owner/operators Kevin Cook and Kevin Cook, Jr.  will donate $.25 from the sale of Shamrock Shakes and OREO Shamrock McFlurry’s to Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest (RMHC-UM).  Every year, this promotion raises more than $50,000 for RMHC-UM, enabling them to offer complimentary lodging, meals, and support to families dealing with a child’s health crisis.  The organization serves families from across the Upper Midwest as well around the country who travel to Minnesota seeking the best medical care for their child.
