McDonald’s iconic Shamrock Shake is officially back at restaurants nationwide for a limited time, but this Shamrock season is extra special! Over the last 50 years, McDonald’s and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) have partnered to ensure that families can stay together during some of their most difficult times.

To mark the next chapter of the Gift to RMHC® celebration, 25 cents from every Shamrock Shake sold at participating restaurants will support local RMHC families. And, because this moment is all about keeping families together, McDonald’s is reuniting two beloved members of the McDonald’s family for the first time in decades.  

Everyone’s favorite purple bestie, Grimace, recently discovered his family’s original Shamrock Shake recipe, sparking a reunion with his uncle, Uncle O’Grimacey. Uncle O’Grimacey will be touring the country with shakes in hand, championing support for RMHC families.

Here is how fans can support RMHC:

• For every Shamrock Shake purchased from Feb. 10 to Mar. 23, McDonald’s franchisees will donate 25 cents to RMHC with a goal of raising $5 million, which could provide 50,000 overnight stays for families staying at RMHC programs.

• Purchase limited-edition Uncle O’Grimacey merch available for pre-sale beginning on Feb. 4 at goldenarchesunlimited.com, and in the spirit of this campaign, McDonald’s will make an additional donation to RMHC.

• Help support a charity near and dear to Uncle O’Grimacey and Grimace by giving a direct gift to Ronald McDonald House Charities or Round-Up for RMHC at your local McDonald’s.

Since 1974, McDonald’s, its franchisees, and its customers have collectively donated over $1 billion to RMHC — and there’s no intention of slowing down. You can read all the details about this special Shamrock season and Uncle O in the press release here and find hi-res images here. 

Thank you for supporting RMHC families!

Campus Coach Lines President and Founder Bert Askwith, Honored by ABA Board of Directors
The American Bus Association Board of Directors honored longtime motorcoach owner/operator and
industry legend Bert Askwith at its spring board meeting May 2 in suburban Washington, D.C. The
presentation was made by ABA Chairman Tom JeBran to salute Askwith for nearly 85 years of
continuous service to the motorcoach industry.

In March, Bert turned 102, celebrating his birthday by going to work in Manhattan where he is President of Campus Coach Lines. Bert founded Campus Coach Lines in 1928 while he was a student at the University of Michigan, taking classmates from Ann Arbor to the east coast at a fraction of the cost of rail travel. The company was so successful that he put himself through college with the money he earned. In 1931, while the Great Depression weakened the economy; Bert moved the business to New York City where it continues operations today, 83 years later.

During his long and distinguished career, Bert has served in a variety of high-profile national and
regional industry leadership positions, including a nearly 20-year tenure on ABA’s Board of Directors.
In 2010 the Board made him an honorary lifetime member. Bert also served as the first Chairman of
the ABA Foundation Board of Governors and continues his service to the ABA Foundation as
Chairman Emeritus. Bert also served for six years as the President of the New York State Bus
Association.

Bert is also known for his generous charitable contributions. Among his favorite charities are the
United Way and his beloved University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

In typical fashion, Bert is always looking ahead, and as he accepted the award, he told his colleagues,
“Thank you for this honor, I am looking forward to working with you for many more years.” ABA Board Chairman Tom JeBran said of his longtime friendship and associate.
