Last November 30, 2009, over a thousand kids, teenagers, parents, athletes and celebrities alike banded together for a special run in support of Filipino children. The first ever McHappy Day Fun Run, held at McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio was the grand culmination of McDonald’s Philippines’ celebration of McHappy Day. There were a total of 25 winners from the male, female and kids categories in each race leg to become one of the first McHappy Day Fun Run Champions.

McHappy Day, formerly known as World Children’s Day, is a global fundraising effort in support of various children’s causes. In the Philippines, proceeds of the McHappy Day Fun Run will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), McDonald’s charity arm and its banner programs, Bright Minds Read (BMR) and Bahay Bulilit.

More than the smiles and laughter, the McHappy Day Fun Run was a great way to spend time with the family and at the same time help children all over the country have a chance for a better future.
