We where delighted to receive this from Barbara Ryan, Naomi Watts CEO of Ronald McDonald House McHappy Day 2018, Ambassador Charities Australia:
"We are writing to thank Your Local Independent and the Port Macquarie community for their support of McHappy Day in 2018 - the largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).
The Port Macquarie community helped us celebrate 27 years of McHappy Day and raised more than $4.8 million for RMHC nationally. These donations ensure that Aussie families get to stay together while their seriously ill or injured child undergoes treatment.
Throughout the country we saw communities, such as Port Macquarie residents, help raise vital funds for RMHC. We saw local Bucket Brigades, Scout groups, emergency services as well as sporting and TV personalities visiting McDonald's restaurants, to help make a difference.
We want to personally say a big thank you to everyone in the Port Macquarie community, who got involved last weekend, making generous donations that helped McHappy Day raise more money than ever before.
Fundraising efforts like McHappy Day are vital and ensure RMHC can be there for families with seriously ill children when they need it most. With so many Aussie kids requiring treatment, every donation goes a long way to keep families together in their toughest times.
You can continue to support families in need by donating to rmhc.org.au all year round. Thank you again to Your Local Independent and the local community for all your help on McHappy Day.
