MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There have been at least nine families from Cross County who have traveled to Memphis for their child to receive pediatric cancer treatment. While in Memphis, the Ronald McDonald House was their home.
Here, they were provided with everything from meals and supplies to family services that offer relief during some of life’s most difficult moments. Through the McDonald’s Round-Up program, customers can donate their change for families by rounding up their order to the nearest dollar.
A big thank you goes out to the Wynne community for working each month to raise vital funds to help support families staying at the House in Memphis. Thanks to the McDonald’s crews for asking, and to the community for choosing to round up, this support helps keep sick or injured children near the care they need with the family they love at no cost to families.
“Ronald McDonald House West Tennessee and Northeast Arkansas is truly blessed to not only have McDonald’s as its forever partner, but the Wynne team’s efforts and the community’s participation in
Round Up for the House are positively impacting lives and helping us serve families with children who are ill or injured,” said Jill Crocker, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House West Tennessee and Northeast Arkansas. “We are so thankful for their partnership and leadership in raising money and awareness for Ronald McDonald House.”
We ask that you share this information with your community and encourage them to round up when visiting a McDonald’s restaurant!
