Gosford RSL Club will host a family fundraiser afternoon on April 16 from 3pm to raise much-needed funds for the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Gosford.
There will be an online and inhouse raffle, many free activities including a jumping castle, hair colouring and balloons along with a special visit from Ronald McDonald.
Gosford RSL has $10,000 in prizes up for grabs in the raffle with all profits going to Ronald McDonald Charities.
The Ronald McDonald houses and rooms are welcoming spaces where families can take time out from the clinical environment of the wards, have a tea or coffee, freshen up with a shower or find a quiet space for a much-needed nap.
They are located within footsteps of major women’s and children’s hospitals across Australia and provide a homely and inviting place to stay for parents, guardians, carers and their siblings while their child is undergoing treatment in a nearby hospital.
Part of what makes them unique is that families are able to benefit from the compassionate support of the volunteers and staff, the companionship of other families who are navigating a similar journey and there’s dedicated play areas so siblings of seriously ill children can have a bit of fun.
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms rely on the work of volunteers and the financial support of individual and corporate donations.
Raffle tickets for the Gosford fundraiser can be purchased at www.grsl.com.au or https://www.raffletix.com.au/?ref=xwnkr.
