It has been such an honor to serve as a McDonald’s owner-operator for many years. And one of the greatest privileges is working with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas, and awarding scholarships to our young people. In 2017, the scholarship program awarded $250 to over 900 graduating seniors and $119,000 to students returning to college. Community partners contributed more than $78,500 of those funds.
Local McDonald’s owner/operators continue to raise funds for the scholarship program — by donating proceeds from every Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper sold at participating McDonald’s restaurants to the RMHC Scholarship program.
There is no greater reward than positively engaging with your own community and contributing to our young people’s educational future.
