McDonald’s debuted the McDonald’s Champion Kids programme in Beijing as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to children. For the Olympic Winter Games, children from across Canada and around the world will have the opportunity to experience the Vancouver Games first-hand.

This once-in-a-lifetime journey gives them a chance to see the Games, attend Olympic events, meet athletes, visit the Olympic Village, tour the cultural sites of Vancouver and interact with their peers from across the globe.

The children will also have the chance to serve as special youth correspondents to share their experiences with their communities through hometown news outlets.

McDonald’s has been a proud supporter of the Olympic Movement for more than 40 years. At the 1968 Olympic Winter Games, McDonald’s airlifted hamburgers to US athletes competing in Grenoble, France, after they reported being homesick for McDonald’s food.

Since then, the company has served its menu of choice and variety to millions of athletes, coaches, their families and fans. McDonald’s will bring the Vancouver Games to life for millions of customers around the world through special promotions, advertising and support for grassroots community programmes such as Olympic Day.
