Run for Charity
"Run for a Reason in 2013"
In 2013 the 7 Sunshine Coast Marathon & Community Run Festival is proud to support beneficiaries with the aim to raise $200,000.
Competitors are encouraged to raise funds through Everyday Hero, by creating their own fund raising page when signing up for the event and seek support from their family and friends to help raise much-needed funds and awareness to the following causes, or one of your choice:
Ronald McDonald House Charities
RMHC is an independent, non-profit organisation, that helps seriously ill children and their families when they need it most. They were founded in memory of McDonald's creator, Ray Kroc, who believed in charitable works as a way of putting something back into the community. McDonald's Australia pays all administration and management costs of RMHC and are a generous donor, the rest of the essential funds they require are raised by them and community events.
Since they opened their first Ronald McDonald House in 1981 they have helped over 65,000 families and 1 in 8 Australian's have been helped or know someone who has used one of their programs.
Westpac Foundation Charitable Trust
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
