The IYAA (Italy Youth Athletic Association) wishes to express our sincerest appreciation for all the support we received the during the IYAA Sports Night hosted by McDonald’s in Italy on Wednesday, June 9.
A special thanks to the McDonald’s corporation and the entire staff at the McDonald’s in Italy for sponsoring the event. Grimace™, played by Keanan Brown, was definitely a good sport during IYAA Sports Night, allowing everyone to pose with him for pictures while constantly waving customers in for a Happy Meal™, a Big Mac™, McNuggets™ and more.
Cookie contest winners were Bobby Wilson, Kenneth Norwood and Carlee Wafer. Karley Nelson, Kendrick Norwood and Kenneth Norwood were the big winners of the Grimace™ coloring contest earning coupons worth one free meal each month at McDonald’s for the rest of the year. Do you three need help eating all that?
McDonald’s employee Maria Balderas held the box while Gage Wafer drew the winner of the bicycle raffle. And the winner was, Kirby Nelson!
The IYAA hopes to see everyone at the next IYAA Sports Night at the McDonald’s in Italy! It was truly “McFun!”
Balderas and Jakiesha Williams represented McDonald’s and were instrumental in organizing the event with IYAA vice president Gary Wood. Behind the counter, Brenda Smith can sell a McDonald’s chocolate chip cookie, believe it!
IYAA Sports, “The winning tradition starts here.”
