Throughout the month of August, McDonald’s restaurants across northern NSW and the Central Coast will raise essential funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW (RMCH NNSW) by selling $2 charity bikes.
All funds raised will help RMCH NNSW support seriously ill and injured children and their families by providing access to programs such as Ronald McDonald houses, family rooms, family retreats and the Ronald McDonald learning program.
McDonald’s Wyong and Tuggerah are just two of the 76 restaurants across northern NSW calling on locals to show their support by purchasing a charity bike.
“Every year, we are blown away by the generosity of our customers who passionately support Ronald McDonald House Charities and the work they do for seriously ill or injured children,” McDonald’s licensee Ron Mussalli said.
“Adding a $2 charity bike to your Macca’s order will go a long way in supporting RMHC, helping the charity to continue to provide a home away from home for families during their time of need.
“So, head down to your local Macca’s this August and help us make a difference to seriously ill or injured children and their families across northern NSW.”
With the help of generous customers, McDonald’s has raised over $310,000 for RMCH NNSW over the past three years through the charity bike fundraiser.
This year, the charity bikes will also be sold in the lead up to RMCH NNSW’s annual Ride for Sick Kids, contributing to the event’s fundraising total.
The fundraiser will see a team of up to 25 riders cycle over 500km from Grafton to Newcastle between September 5 and 9 with the aim of raising $200,000.
