Record-Breaking McDonald’s Stripes Run 2023 Raises PHP 1 Million for Children’s Literacy

The McDonald’s Stripes Run 2023 gathered 9,230 runners in a record-breaking fun run held last December 10 in the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. According to race organizers, this year’s event saw the highest number of participants after 12 years since the race was first organized.

Stripes Run Proceeds Goes to Children’s Literacy

McDonalds was also able to raise PHP 1 million through the Stripes Run. The funds will support the Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Read to Learn program. The advocacy focuses on teaching Grades 1 and 2 public school students to read.

“It is truly an honor to witness the coming together of families, friends, and even pets for the 2023 McDonald’s Stripes Run. These initiatives are a testament to the brand’s dedication to providing an avenue for families to enjoy feel-good moments while making an impact,” said Fidel Balbieran, McDonald’s Marketing Director.

For twelve long years, Stripes Run’s support for the Ronald McDonald’s House Charities has enabled more children to continue learning, something only made possible by the hundreds upon hundreds of runners who join us for the run. We remain dedicated to providing memorable moments such as this while also being able to provide avenues for all to support a cause,” he added.

Fur Stripes Run for Pets

Adding a unique twist, the Fur Stripes category allowed participants to run alongside their furry companions, showcasing McDonald’s commitment to inclusivity and creativity in events. The event concluded with visible happiness on the participants’ faces.
