Burger Day 9

Help support Ronald McDonald House Charities by turning out for Burger Day on Saturday April 21 at the Glenview McDonalds in Plaza del Prado on the corner of Willow and Pfingsten at 3 PM. The students of Glenbrook North HS, Glenbrook South HS, New Trier HS, and Loyola Academy have joined forces to raise money for this worthy cause. This event started out as a prank to buy out all the burgers from McDonalds and has become a charity event that has raised over $34,000 in the past four years for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. The Burger Day team raises money at the event through selling t-shirts, collecting donations, and by selling burgers. Last year 1,180 burgers were sold with 100% of the proceeds going to RMHC-CNI. This is an event organized by kids, led by kids, to benefit kids.
