A Special Reunion

The idea for the partnership came about when Grimace stumbled upon his family’s original Shamrock Shake recipe. Inspired by the memory of his uncle, Grimace decided to reconnect with Uncle O’Grimacey and celebrate his favorite charity’s milestone.

Uncle O’Grimacey, known for his vibrant, joyful, and generous spirit, eagerly accepted the invitation. He packed his bags and embarked on a journey from Sham Rock, Ireland, to spread Shamrock Shake cheer and support RMHC families across the country.

Committed to Keeping Families Together

This Shamrock Season marks the next chapter of the Gift to RMHC® celebration, honoring the fundraiser that helped open the first Ronald McDonald House® more than 50 years ago. Since then, McDonald’s and RMHC have partnered to ensure that families can stay together during some of their most difficult times. It all started in 1974, when a group of Philadelphia community leaders, members of the Philadelphia Eagles, and McDonald’s franchisees came together to bring a powerful vision to life: providing support for families with ill or injured children in their time of need. Since then, McDonald’s, its franchisees, and its customers have collectively donated over $1 billion to RMHC — and there’s no intention of slowing down.

“Our long-standing tradition of the Shamrock Shake is a testament to the joy we bring to our customers. This year, we are getting back to the first fundraiser that started our incredible partnership with RMHC,” said Michael Gonda, Chief Impact Officer, North America at McDonald’s. “This Shamrock Shake Season, with a little extra cheer from the Grimace family, we’re reminded that the most precious gift is being close to those you love.”

Cheers to a Happy Shamrock Season! For other ways to donate or get involved with RMHC, visit our website
