Vanessa SchmittWeekend Kwinana Courier

Toys for Kids Rockingham has donated a $200 children’s scooter to be raffled, along with other prizes.

All funds raised on the day will go towards programs that help seriously ill children and their families living in regional areas.

This year, it is hoped McHappy Day will raise a record-breaking $3.4 million for Ronald McDonald House, which equates to providing a bed for around 25,000 nights for families at one of the 16 Ronald McDonald Houses across Australia.

“We look forward to having the local community get down on McHappy Day to help raise funds to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and the brilliant work that it does for seriously ill children and their families,” McDonald’s Rockingham licensee Rod Sinclair said.

“Along with the usual fun that comes with McHappy Day, this year the local community will also be able to purchase the Ronald Socks as a new fundraising initiative for McHappy Day – it’s a fun way for everyone to get involved.”
