Mrs. Sask. Globe fundraising for Ronald McDonald House
The Nipawin woman who will represent Saskatchewan at the Mrs. Canada Globe pageant in Regina early next year, is spreading awareness about Ronald McDonald House.
Alesia Campbell, 26, was encouraged to fundraise for a charity as part of her responsibilities as Mrs. Saskatchewan. Campbell said she picked the charity because the funds raised get to those who need it.
“So many charities these days, too much money goes into the CEO’s pocket and not enough in the actual organization. With the actual Ronald McDonald house, all the money they’ve raised goes right into the house and it’s just such an amazing cause,” she said.
Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation for families of sick children travelling to Saskatoon to receive medical treatment. Over the Christmas holiday season, families are treated to a Christmas dinner and gifts are provided for the children. The charity organization’s central house is located in Saskatoon, but there is also a room for families at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert.
