For over a decade, Wests ClubGRANTS program has been deeply committed to supporting the Ronald McDonald House, a non-profit organisation that provides accommodation for families and sick children who need to stay close to the hospital during their medical treatment. The Newcastle House has 6 units and 12 bedrooms that can accommodate over 600 families per year.
During the Easter period, Knights players, including Adam Elliot, Jackson Hastings, Mat Croker, and Greg Marzhew, participated in their annual Easter Egg hunt at the Ronald McDonald House. The players brought positivity and joy to the children and parents by engaging with them in a fun-filled, chocolate-filled afternoon.
The Easter Egg hunt is just one of the many ways we support the Ronald McDonald House. The program has also allocated $82,000 to upgrade and refurbish the accommodation units at the John Hunter Children's Hospital site. This investment has helped provide a comfortable, supportive, and safe environment for families from all areas of Northern NSW while their children are receiving medical treatment at the hospital.
We take pride in our commitment to supporting the Ronald McDonald House and their mission to keep families together during what can be an incredibly challenging time. We encourage everyone to get to know more about the vital work the Ronald McDonald House does to support our community.
