“McDonald’s is supporting the Take Stock in Children 5K because it helps in fulfilling our commitment to assist in providing the best educational opportunities for the children of the community. We feel that a quality education in grades K-12 is the foundation for students who desire to go on to college or other post-secondary educational training,” remarked Tom O’Reilly. “We are excited to be a part of an event that not only encourages a healthy and active lifestyle, but also assists in providing scholarship funds for deserving students looking to continue with their education.”
