MCDONALD’S of Saipan’s congratulates Garapan Elementary school for finishing third in the fundraising campaign “Race to Raise.” The school won $2,000 for getting its faculty, staff, students, and families to participate and fundraise for a great cause, collecting a total of 239 tickets.
McDonald’s hosted a fundraising campaign for all CNMI public elementary schools that started on March 1, 2023 and ended on March 19, 2023.
The fundraising campaign encouraged all who purchased meals at McDonald’s to drop their receipts with a minimum purchase of $15 into a drop box labeled with the elementary school they would like to support.
The campaign was a friendly competition among public elementary schools to get the most receipts and to win cash prizes of up to $5,000.
This is truly a donation in support of education in the CNMI. McDonald’s of Saipan believes school fundraising gets families and the community involve while improving students’ teamwork.
According to Joe Ayuyu Sr., owner/operator and president of McDonald’s of Guam and Saipan, “McDonald’s values integrity, community, and family, and we are passionate for the young generation to learn and develop important skills for their bright futures.”
