Get ready, Michigan! The beloved Shamrock Shake is making a delightful return to McDonald’s, and it’s here for a cause that will warm your heart. From February 10 to March 23, folks across the state can enjoy this iconic minty treat, knowing that every sip helps local families in need.
When you buy a Shamrock Shake, a portion of your money goes a long way. Specifically, 25 cents from each shake sold in Michigan will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) throughout the state. It’s a win-win situation—you get to savor an indulgent sweet treat while directly contributing to an amazing cause that supports families with children receiving medical care.
In 2024 alone, McDonald’s customers rallied to raise over $361,000 for four RMHC locations in Michigan, which are located in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing. Out of that impressive total, over $84,626 was granted to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mid-Michigan in Lansing. These donations help provide a safe place for families to stay close to their kids undergoing treatment, ensuring they have support when it matters most.
This year, McDonald’s has set even bigger aspirations for the Shamrock Shake campaign, aiming to raise $5 million nationwide. This ambitious goal could potentially cover up to 50,000 overnight stays for families seeking RMHC services. Can you imagine the impact? McDonald’s commitment to providing care, comfort, and support is stronger than ever, and they need your help to achieve it!
Local McDonald’s owners in Michigan are enthusiastic about the Shamrock Shake campaign. They emphasize not just the delight of enjoying this seasonal favorite, but also the significant difference it makes for families facing challenges. McDonald’s owners like Jeff Stanton from Monroe and Michael Maynard from Hillsdale are leading the charge, stressing how the campaign serves a dual purpose—offering a scrumptious shake while assisting those in need.
Let’s not forget Michael Bodman, an owner/operator from Adrian, who highlights how the Shamrock Shake represents McDonald’s dedication to positively impacting lives. It’s incredible to see community members coming together for such a meaningful cause!
For the first time in decades, the playful characters Grimace and Uncle O’Grimacey are reuniting to promote the Shamrock Shake campaign. These nostalgic faces will be spreading joy and cheer all over the country! And if you want to join the fun, you can pre-order Uncle O’Grimacey-themed merchandise, which includes T-shirts, baseball caps, and crewnecks. What’s even better? A part of the sales from this merchandise will also go toward RMHC!
The Shamrock Shake has been a beloved staple since its creation in 1967. It has been making strides to support RMHC since 1974, when it helped to build the very first Ronald McDonald house. Over the past 50 years, McDonald’s has donated an astounding $1 billion to RMHC, which is a testament to their longstanding commitment to helping families during trying times.
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches on March 17, the return of the Shamrock Shake feels even more special. Indulging in this creamy concoction made with smooth vanilla soft serve, refreshing Shamrock Shake syrup, and topped with whipped cream is an experience that is not just tasty but also heartfelt.
This Valentine’s season, join McDonald’s in their mission to give back while indulging in a Shamrock Shake. By enjoying a delicious shake, you’ll be helping families across Michigan find comfort during tough times. So, mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate flavors, community support, and the power of caring for those around us!
