Malaysians encouraged to share prosperity with the less fortunate
while savouring Prosperity Meals with family and friends
Petaling Jaya, 9 January 2014
– McDonald’s ‘Prosperity Gives Back’ Campaign, which aims to bring Malaysians together from all walks of life for a charitable cause, has returned for its fourth consecutive year. This year, RM1 from every Prosperity Meal sold on the 18
th
and 19
th
January at McDonald’s restaurants, will be donated to 70 Malaysian charity homes.
In addition to the Prosperity Gives Back Weekend, McDonald’s will be donating a total of RM82,000 to local charity homes. This will be achieved with a consumer engagement at selected McDonald’s stores. Radio cruisers have started visiting selected McDonald’s locations nationwide and will do so till 17 January 2014. Those who purchase 2 Prosperity Meals or more in a single receipt and correctly answer questions given by the visiting radio cruisers will receive a Prosperity Gift Packet containing promise notes, which can later be redeemed for cash. A total of RM82,000 worth of Prosperity Gift Packets is up for grabs. For every RM1 won by the public, McDonald’s will donate RM1 to the same charity homes – this means that – the more people participate in the activity, the more the charity homes will receive. Those keen to participate can view the radio cruisers’ schedule of appearance at these locations on
