It wasn’t until 2015 that A.Y. McDonald officially committed to digitally connecting with you, starting with an active social media presence. While in our 159th year of business at the time, there was a lot of catching up to do. Fast forward to today and you now have access to multiple digital communication platforms, such as A.Y. McDonald University (AYU) and the new AYMcDonald.com’s customer portal.

While A.Y. McDonald continues to gain more followers, learners, and users, the impact that our 162-year-old company holds on the industries we serve is worth reaching and connecting with many more people than it currently does today. Therefore, by the end of July, we will need your help in getting at least 1,000 followers on any of our social media platforms (TwitterFacebookPinterestInstagramYouTube channel), along with vastly increasing AYU learners and customer portal users!

Thanks to the Follow. Connect. Learn. Win. sweepstakes, from March 20 to July 31, all customers, current social media followers, and industry peers have the opportunity to participate in drawings for $162, $250, and $1,000 prizes. Below is a breakdown of how each prize is obtained:

  • If/when 1,000 social media followers are reached on any platform, a $1,000 prize will be drawn for one lucky winner
