The Houses in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing ensure families with sick or injured children can stay together near the medical care they need.
Just in time for holiday travel, customers can support local Ronald McDonald House Charities Chapters
LANSING, Mich. (May 24, 2021) – As Michigan residents hit the road this week, they can support local Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) chapters and the families they serve, while enjoying a cold beverage. “Sleeves For Support” is back at McDonald’s. Customers can purchase an insulated beverage sleeve, specifically designed to hold a 30-ounce McDonald’s beverage cup for $5 at any Michigan McDonald’s restaurant. The campaign starts Tuesday, May 25 and runs while supplies last.
RMHC programs across Michigan help families with ill or injured children, ensuring they can stay together and be near the medical care they need at leading hospitals. The Ronald McDonald House programs provide families with home-cooked meals, private bedrooms, fully-equipped kitchens, and laundry facilities. It costs RMHC an average of $100 a night to house a family.
“Sleeves for Support is such a fun way to kick off summer in Michigan! We’re grateful for the support of our local McDonald’s restaurants and their customers through this truly impactful campaign that helps loved ones stay near their hospitalized children,” said Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan Executive Director Carolyn Hurst.
“McDonald’s and our customers have been longtime supporters of RMHC and the important support they provide families with sick children and we are excited to continue that support though this year’s Sleeves For Support campaign,” said Shawn Saputo, local McDonald’s Owner/Operator. “This $5 purchase will help families stay together in their time of need.”
