Charity begins at home for Ray White Kingsland

- Leading Real Estate company invests in Ronald McDonald House, helping provide a ‘home away from home’ for kiwi families in need.

Kingsland, 18th July 2011 - Ray White Kingsland has partnered with Ronald McDonald Houses in New Zealand, providing vital annual cash contributions as well as fundraising and volunteerism from members of its own Kingsland team.

“We are honored to be associated with Ray White which has a long history and a passion for putting New Zealand families into homes,” says Wayne Howett, CEO, Ronald McDonald House Auckland. “To many families, Ronald McDonald Houses are the most valuable homes in New Zealand and we rely on the support of New Zealand companies like Ray White to help keep them running. The generous combined support of so many Ray White branches around the country is making a powerful difference to the amount of help we can give to families when they need it most.”

At a time when nothing is more important than being close to your child while they receive serious medical treatment, a Ronald McDonald House becomes a home for tens of thousands of New Zealanders each year. Along with other like-minded New Zealand companies, Ray White Kingsland is helping families into a home they never imagined they’d need.

The partnership is part of a nationwide corporate programme to support the three Ronald McDonald Houses in New Zealand – Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch - with Ray White branches throughout the country investing in the House closest to them.

“Ray White is proud to be associated with Ronald McDonald House. Finding New Zealand families the right house is what we do best, so we’re thrilled to be able to help families when they need a ‘home away from home’,” says Carey Smith, CEO, Ray White.
