NEW HAMPSHIRE — On Wednesday, Oct. 3, McDonald’s franchisees across New Hampshire will spearhead a fundraising effort to donate $50,000 to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police. From 4 to 7 p.m., McDonald’s customers can lend their support by purchasing a meal at their neighborhood McDonald’s. All 54 McDonald’s restaurants across New Hampshire have committed to donating, and a percentage of the evening’s sales from customers will also contribute to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.
“McDonald’s franchisees across New Hampshire are proud to show our continued support for all the Police Departments statewide. Through this unique fundraising event, we raised nearly $52,000 in 2016 and look to raise $50,000 again this year,” said Peter Napoli, local McDonald’s owner/operator in New Hampshire. “As business owners, we see the positive impact the police have on our communities and residents, protecting us day in and day out, and we’re proud to raise funds so they can operate at their highest level.”
During the Oct. 3 fundraiser, a local area police officer and a cruiser will be on site at each McDonald’s from 4 to 7 p.m. The officers will meet and greet families and children in addition to providing educational tips and information to customers. McDonald’s will also recognize several officers throughout the state who go above and beyond in the line of duty as well as those officers who are highly invested in the community.
The money raised through this event will assist in providing high-quality law enforcement training and the continued development of the profession of law enforcement toward the police’s efforts in supporting the communities they serve.
