The fundraising total is in from "McHappy Day" in Moose Jaw. 

The two local McDonald's restaurants (Macdonald Street and Wal-Mart locations) participated in the annual charity event that sees proceeds from certain McDonald's menu items donated towards Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Between the two, $5,215 was raised, with that money earmarked for the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon.  Ronald McDonald houses are used by out-of-town families whose children need long-term medical care at a nearby hospital.
