Our Charity Partners
Each year we partner with a charity to help them raise funds and awareness.
Our 2024 Charity Partner is Ronald McDonald House Charities.
2024 | Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand
RMHC New Zealand supports families when their child is in a New Zealand hospital away from home.
In 2022, RMHC New Zealand provided almost 3,600 families with accommodation and support free of charge at its facilities throughout New Zealand. It was the busiest year since the first New Zealand opening 31 years ago.
The Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald Family Room® programmes take care of the practical things in life so families can focus on their child staying in a hospital away from home.
This helps to relieve stresses like paying for a place to sleep near the hospital, organising family meals and needing a friendly ear to listen on tough days.
$1 from every ticket sold is donated to RMHC NZ, as well as any extra funds raised through donations and onsite activations.
