SUPPORTED CHARITIES
The 7 Sunshine Coast Marathon & Community Run Festival is proud to be raising much-needed funds and awareness for seriously ill children and their family who use the facilities Ronald McDonald House Charities provide.
We are a charitable trust investing in not-for-profits run by community leaders who have the vision, courage and determination to give disadvantaged Australians in our community opportunity. Through our grants, we seek to develop communities where the long-term unemployed, Indigenous Australians, refugees, the homeless, and individuals with a disability, feel engaged and included.
