Beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 69 McDonald's Restaurants in the Ozarks began encouraging customers to support Springfield's two Ronald McDonald Houses by donating $1, $5 or $20 and adopting a heart.
With every heart adopted, contributors are given an opportunity to enter a social media contest, holding their signed heart with the message, "I shared my heart #forRMHCozarks" for a chance to win one of four $250 Great Southern MasterCard gift cards.
Over 40 mayors in the participating region have been asked to support the campaign by proclaiming Feb. 13 through 19 as "Ronald McDonald House Week" in their towns. McDonald's of Branson, Forsyth and Hollister are participating in the Share a Heart Campaign.
