Over 150 McDonald’s walkers participated in the first-ever Y-ME Mother's Day Walk to Empower, for Breast Cancer Awareness. This inaugural event was a huge success for the Cleveland co-op who had 21 walking teams represented at the event. With donations still coming in, McDonald's and the NEO co-op has raised over $70,000.

As one of six national sponsors of the Y-ME walks across the country, McDonald’s was
proud to partner with this worthwhile organization through walks in Cleveland,
Chicago, Atlanta, Washington DC, Denver, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, San Diego, and
Seattle. Overall, the Y-ME Cleveland Walk raised $133,000 to date and had over 600
energetic walkers dressed in team shirts, pink boas, and ball caps with pink bows.
