Toledo, Ohio — As the 2023 college football season kicked off, McDonald’s customers had their chance to show support for both Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio (RMHC) and the Buckeyes through the Sleeves for Support Program. Developed in partnership with Coca-Cola, the sale of limited edition insulated beverage sleeves, specifically designed to hold 30-ounce cups from McDonald’s, generated $22,304 for the Ronald McDonald House located in Toledo.
“We are excited that Coca-Cola provided our guests with the opportunity to support families who use Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio,” said Matt Mackenzie owner/operator McDonald’s restaurants in the Toledo area. “In addition to the Round-Up program, this is yet another way we work with the Toledo community to support our local Ronald McDonald House.”
This year the Sleeves for Support program raised $164,152 for Ronald McDonald House Charities throughout Ohio.
“We are thankful for our local McDonald’s owner/operators and their customers who have always been generous contributors to RMHC programs right here in our community,” said Chad Bringman, executive director of RMHC Northwest Ohio. “This partnership with Coca-Cola will allow families whose children are receiving medical attention have a place to go and rest while away from their home.”
