As the founding mission partner, McDonald’s Hong Kong has been a rock-solid foundation for RMHC Hong Kong over the years, consistently contributing significant resources and lending its influential platform to amplify the charity’s vital work.
Have you caught the latest heart-warming videos from McDonald’s Hong Kong? The fast-food giant’s recent campaign in support of RMHC Hong Kong has taken social media by storm, resonating deeply with viewers and sparking outpouring support for the charitable organization.
Since the inception of Asia’s first Ronald McDonald House in Hong Kong in 1996, McDonald’s Hong Kong has chosen RMHC Hong Kong as their “Charity of Choice”. From fund raising, in-kind services, volunteering, or cause-related marketing promotion, it has supported RMHC Hong Kong programs and services to continue to improve the lives of paediatric patients and their families.
Some fundraising initiatives of McDonald’s Hong Kong for RMHC Hong Kong include Kidathon, a family-friendly race; public donations via McDonald’s official app or donation boxes inside its restaurants.
In recent years, McDonald’s Hong Kong has creatively utilized the reach and influence of social media and celebrity culture in supporting RMHC Hong Kong’s fundraising campaigns. Take the recent video that capturing the local boy band MIRROR’s Keung To, also the charity ambassador of McDonald’s Hong Kong, volunteering at the RMH in Kwun Tong and accepting the housekeeping challenges by the sick children, giving an in-depth perspective of how important the “home away from home” RMHC Hong Kong is creating for families in needs.
