The charity I chose was Ronald McDonald. I chose this charity because I have a close friend that is unwell and he lives in the Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch.
The Ronald McDonald charity raises money for sick children who need medical care. It also helps out their families at this time, with accommodation, food and fun activities.
The charity gets money from gerneral support in the community, businesses and also McDonald's restaurants also help fund this charity.
Staying at the Ronald McDonald house is expensive, it costs around $140 a night for a family.
Ronald McDonald was first played by Willard Scott in an ad in the Washington, D.C. market. The character magically pulled hamburgers out of his belt, while wearing a nose made out a McDonald's cup. His hat was a tray holding a Styrofoam burger, a bag of fries and a milkshake.
Hi Kohnen,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Gabriel, and I am part of this year’s Summer Learning Journey team. I will be helping to comment on your amazing posts over the summer. It is such a wonderful experience to be able to read your blog. It’s great to see what you have done already!
Great choice of charity! Ronald McDonald house has done a lot for many kids with medical issues. It’s great to know that it is there for many people in need. Would you want to be a doctor when you are older?
Awesome facts! I had no idea that Ronald McDonald was first played by Willard Scott! Just remember if you are writing a quote make sure to show where you found it, or rewrite it in your own words.
Keep up the great work!
