Big Macs Equal Big Bucks For Southington HS Athletics

SOUTHINGTON, CT — Residents who have the McDonald's App might want to use it if they plan on getting McD's on Thursday, Oct. 10.

On that day, 20 percent of App sales at Southington's two McDonald's locations will help Southington High School's athletics department.

The special fundraiser is from 3 to 9 p.m. that day.

There are McDonald's restaurants at 575 Queen St., Southington, as well as 894 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike in Plantsville.

According to McDonald's, more than 130 McDonald's restaurants in Connecticut are participating in the program statewide, with many Connecticut high school/middle school sports departments benefitting.

Funds raised in Southington will go toward SHS sports.

"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, a 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."
