Together, we’re building brighter futures for local Children and families.
YMCA Northumberland is proud to be selected as the 2026 McHappy Day® Partner in Northumberland County!
On Wednesday, May 6, a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold at participating McDonald’s® locations in Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton, and Campbellford will support Ronald McDonald House Charities and local YMCA programs that help children and youth thrive.
Why It Matters
McHappy Day is one of Canada’s largest community fundraising events—bringing people together to make a real difference.
This year, your support will help YMCA Northumberland:
-
Build an outdoor large-scale YMCA climbing tower at the Cobourg Y, creating an exciting new space where children and youth across Northumberland County can build confidence, stay active, learn, play, and shine.
-
Expand camp programming in Campbellford and Brighton, including the addition of a new Campbellford outdoor pavilion where campers can gather for unique activities, as well as providing Brighton kids with enriching new programs and day trips in the area.
Through the expansion of our camp programs in Cobourg, Campbellford, and Brighton, we’re sparking curiosity, building courage, forging friendships and helping local kids thrive!
