MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis recognized Dustin Walker from McDonald’s Store 15361 in Jackson, TN as the April 2024 “Round-Up Rockstar.”
“Dustin always makes sure to ask customers to round up for the RMHC and explains the reason and why it is beneficial to those who stay in our Ronald McDonald Houses,” said General Manager, Natalye Morin.
McDonald’s Store 15361 is a part of the Gamble Group Inc., and Tyler Gamble serves as the Owner Operator.
McDonald’s stores that fundraise over $500 each month for RMHC-Memphis through the Round-Up for RMHC program are placed into a random drawing. The owner operator of the winning store will then select one person from their team to receive a special gift from RMHC-Memphis.
The Round-Up for RMHC program helps to support families traveling to West Tennessee for the medical care and services that their child needs.
Over 125 McDonald’s locations from across West Tennessee, Southeast Missouri, Northeast Arkansas and Northern Mississippi share the mission of RMHC-Memphis with customers through asking for support and advocating for families through the Round-Up campaign.
When visiting a McDonald’s restaurant, anyone can help support families with sick children by choosing to Round-Up for RMHC when placing an order at the kiosk, counter or drive-thru. Spare change may also be dropped in any of the RMHC donation boxes in restaurant or drive-thru.
