Called the High School Sports Digital Fundraiser Day, the event was created by local Ohio franchise owners. All schools in the program will receive a $250 minimum donation.

“We are proud to be a part of the communities that we serve,” said McDonald’s Owner/Operator Katie Blankenship in a recent press release. “This is the first time all Ohio area owner operators have come together on one day to show our support for local high school athletics. Our hope is that the local communities will come out to support their high schools and help us make the High School Sports Digital Fundraiser Day a success throughout the state.”

To participate, only download and use the McDonald’s smart device app on Oct. 6.
