54 participating restaurants eye contribution of $50,000 this October

Concord, NH - On Wednesday, October 6, McDonald’s franchisees across New Hampshire will spearhead a fundraising effort to donate $50,000 to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police. From 4 to 7 p.m., McDonald’s customers can lend their support by purchasing a meal at their neighborhood McDonald’s. All 54 McDonald’s restaurants across New Hampshire have committed to donating, in addition to earmarking a percentage of the evening’s sales from customers for the benefit of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.

“McDonald’s franchisees across New Hampshire are proud to show our continued support for all the Police Departments statewide with our third fundraising event. We raised nearly $52,000 in 2016 and over $51,000 in 2018 and are hoping to surpass our goal of $50,000 again this year,” said Peter Napoli, local McDonald’s Owner/Operator in New Hampshire. “As business owners, we see the positive impact the police have on our communities and residents, protecting us day in and day out, and we’re proud to raise funds so they can feel supported and continue to operate at their highest level during these unprecedented times.”

During the fundraiser, a local area police officer and a cruiser will be on site at each McDonald’s from 4 to 7 p.m. The officers will meet customers to provide educational and safety information. McDonald’s will also recognize several officers throughout the state who go above and beyond in the line of duty as well as those officers who are highly invested in the community.

The New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police is a 501 (c) (6) organization with a focus on public safety and elevating the standards of police service and the advancement of the highest ethical and professional standards.

The money raised through this event will assist in providing high-quality law enforcement training and the continued development of the profession of law enforcement toward the police’s efforts in supporting the communities they serve.

Pat Sullivan, Executive Director New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, added, “The New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police enjoyed participating in the McDonald’s fundraising efforts in 2016 and 2018 and looks forward to partnering with McDonald’s again this year. This effort raises money for continued training programs that allow us to best maintain the safety of New Hampshire residents. We also appreciate the opportunity to interact with local families and community members to shed light on our jobs in law enforcement, building one-on-one connections.”
