SHAMROCK SHAKES FOR BRITTANY: SHARE HOPE AND AWARENESS
EVENT OVERVIEW
The Shamrock Shakes campaign encourages the community to share kindness and start conversations that matter. By participating, you are helping raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas. Use the hashtag #ShamrockShakes4Brittany to share your story and connect with others who are joining the movement. A small gesture, like sharing a shake, can create a meaningful impact and remind someone that they are not alone.
EVENT DATES & LOCATIONS
This year, thanks to Hart2Hart Inc., $0.44 from every Shamrock Shake sold on March 4th, 2026 at all 17 of their McDonald’s locations will be donated to Fight Like a Ninja. Visit a participating McDonald’s in Sioux Falls, Watertown, Brookings, or Brandon to enjoy a shake and a special Ninja sticker, and join the conversation about hope, support, and mental health awareness.
WHY CONVERSATIONS MATTER
Starting a conversation about mental health doesn’t have to be difficult. Simple gestures — asking if someone is okay, sharing your own feelings, or letting them know they are not alone — can be life-changing. Look for changes in behavior, mood, or habits, and trust your instincts. Remember, you are not expected to “fix” anyone — your role is to listen, support, and guide them to professional help if needed. Always keep 988 on hand as a resource for yourself or a loved one. Every conversation can save a life.
BRITTANY & BUTCHIES STORY
Brittany and her sister Butchie shared a bond that went beyond sisterhood — they were best friends. After Brittany passed, Butchie returned to Brittany’s resting place with a Shamrock Shake and a small fry, sharing half with her sister. This story inspired others to share their own shakes, creating a ripple effect of comfort and connection. Today, Shamrock Shakes unite the Ninja Tribe and encourage everyone to reach out, check in, and support each other in small but meaningful ways.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
You can join the Shamrock Shake campaign by visiting participating McDonald’s locations on March 4th. Share your shake, post a photo with your Ninja sticker, and use the hashtag #ShamrockShakes4Brittany to spread hope and awareness. Even small actions — like sharing a shake or starting a conversation — make a big difference in someone’s life.
DONATION IMPACT
Every Shamrock Shake purchased contributes $0.44 directly to Fight Like a Ninja. These funds support scholarships, mental health initiatives, grief retreats, and outreach programs, ensuring that Brittany’s legacy continues to inspire hope, compassion, and connection in the community.
