How McDonald’s Restaurants benefit and help with the “Link Five” School Program...

One benefit for McDonald’s Restaurants is that ten (10) schools near the restaurant will have McDonald’s listed as the Main Sponsor of the School “Link Five” Program. If not, the restaurant is not be involved in or responsible for our program in the schools. In conjunction with a sponsorship comes liberal advertisement in all the methods we use to promote the League in that school, including the literature that the parents must sign to authorize their children to stay after school for the leagues.

As a main sponsor McDonald’s receives twice the space for advertising and the Image of helping the growth of the child’s mind. Also most schools prefer that an alternate location for the “Link Five” League be offered, because they do not want large number of students to stay after school, so the McDonald’s Restaurant is listed as an alternative for the school’s “Link Five” League, bringing even more customers to the restaurant.

For McDonald’s their responsibility is really easy, everything the restaurant owner must do, is to agree to the “Link Five” League in the restaurant and to distribute the McDonald's League Flyers. We are able to attract with more ease sponsors, when they also receive promotion at the nearby McDonald’s.
