McDonald’s UAE has raised AED 325,000 for the Emirates Red Crescent during Ramadan through the sale of its unique pack of playing cards The Cards for Good, which aimed to bring the community together through fun challenges and good deeds. Selling 65,000 decks of cards in restaurants across the UAE, 100% of the proceeds have been donated to ERC to support their charity and humanitarian initiatives.
