Makin' Wake launches a campaign to raise $100,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities with a Great Loop journey across 6,000 miles, supporting families in medical crises.
United States, June 10, 2025 -- Makin' Wake, a unique initiative blending adventure and philanthropy, is calling on supporters to 'Get On Board' in raising $100,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). This June, the Makin' Wake team will embark on an epic journey to complete the Great Loop — a 6,000-mile waterway route spanning the Eastern United States — to bring attention and funds to RMHC's mission of keeping families close during medical crises.
A Journey with Purpose
'The Great Loop is more than just a journey,' says Captain Darren Hayes. 'It's a metaphor for how connected we are and how far we can go when we come together. By joining forces, we can make a tremendous impact for families in need.'
As Captain Hayes and the Makin' Wake team embark on this voyage, they aim to raise awareness for RMHC's essential services, which include housing, support, and community for families with critically ill children receiving medical care. By participating, donors will contribute to ensuring that families can remain close to their children during some of the most challenging times of their lives.
How to 'Get On Board'
Makin' Wake is inviting individuals, businesses, and organizations to participate in the campaign in several impactful ways:
