McDonald’s Sends DFW Child to the Olympics

As part of our client’s efforts to promote more active and aspirational dreams for children in the communities they operate and serve, McDonald’s U.S.A. is sending four friendship duos on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. One of the children attending is Kenya Delgado, a nine-year-old from the North Texas Area. Earlier this week, our DFW team, the Haltom City Police Department, and family friends had the opportunity to surprise Kenya with the news at her local McDonald’s restaurant. Not only did Kenya learn that she’ll be traveling to Rio, she found out that she will be accompanied by her close friend, April Borjas. Kenya and April met in 2015 while their families were staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Upper Midwest facility in Minneapolis. As their siblings were receiving treatment nearby, the two girls quickly became friends and relied on each other for support. Events like this make us proud to work with a client like McDonald’s that goes above and beyond to lift spirits and strengthen families. On August 5th tune in to see Kenya, April and children from around the world participate in the Olympics opening ceremonies!
