MCDONALD’S RELATIONSHIP
Ronald McDonald House Charities has been McDonald’s “charity of choice” for 35 years.
Ronald McDonald Charities of Kentuckiana is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, and McDonald’s is our largest corporate donor. Portions of our annual operating costs for Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are graciously funded by McDonald’s owners/operators in the Kentuckiana region. The remainder of our annual operating income is generated by the generosity of individual and additional corporate donors.
McDonald’s involvement extends beyond monetary support:
- McDonald’s partner with RMHCK for promotional and fundraising events.
- McDonald’s employees are dedicated volunteers.
- Owners/operators serve on RMHCK boards.
- RMHC donation boxes hosted in our local restaurants are a large source of ongoing fundraising.
- All in restaurant sales of US Today go to RMHCK.
- McDonald’s conducts an annual fundraiser in November called McHappy Day. Since 2002, it has raised $150 million for global RMHC and children’s charities around the world.
Although McDonald’s is our largest corporate donor, no company can solely fund Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana programs and our projected growth. We need the support of the entire community and greatly value any support you can afford to RMHCK, whether it’s through cash donations, your time or fundraising efforts.
