McDonald’s New England digital community fundraiser for Foxcroft Academy on Thursday

DOVER-FOXCROFT – On Thursday, Oct. 10 the McDonald’s owner/operator in Dover Foxcroft are hosting a digital fundraiser to support Foxcroft Academy’s athletics. From 3-9 p.m., 20 percent of all app sales will be donated to local youth sports programs.

This event is part of a larger New England initiative, with more than 130 McDonald’s restaurants participating across the region. However, the funds raised in Dover Foxcroft will directly benefit the community’s young athletes.

“We are a local brand at heart, and our commitment goes beyond providing great food to the communities we serve. All McDonald’s in New England are locally owned and operated by families or business owners who take great pride in their communities,” said Sara Amato, New England McDonald’s owner/operator who also oversees the McDonald’s app engagement for the region. “Sports play a pivotal role in youth development and teach life-long skills like teamwork, discipline and perseverance. We’re so excited about this program as it allows us to rally together and make an impact on the lives of young athletes in our neighborhoods where we live and operate in.”

Spearheaded by local operators, this initiative is a natural extension of McDonald’s’ long-standing and deep-rooted commitment to providing meaningful support to its people and communities. New England operators consistently contribute to numerous give-back programs, including Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House Charities and Archways to Opportunity for employee tuition assistance, contributing more than $1,000,000 to RMHC and $557,000 in tuition dollars for employees respectively year-to-date. In its inaugural year, the upcoming digital fundraiser is anticipated to provide a meaningful financial boost to local school sports programs, benefiting thousands of student-athletes across the region.

New England customers community members are invited to participate by placing orders through the McDonald’s app from 3-9 p.m. Every order during this period will contribute directly to local athletic programs.
