FIX AUTO CANADA RAISES $10,000 FOR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES CANADA

A first great success to help families drive forward and heal together.

MONTREAL (Quebec), September 7, 2016 – Carl Brabander, Vice President, Marketing for Fix Auto Canada, is pleased to announce that Fix Auto made a donation in the amount of $10,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada (RMHC), following Fix Auto Ontario’s 9th Annual Masters Golf Tournament, which was held on August 31st, 2016 at The Club at Bond Head.

“We are very proud to partner with such an incredible organization”, says Daryll O’Keefe, General Manager of Fix Auto Ontario. “This marks Fix Auto’s first official event in support of this great cause, and we could not be more thrilled with the outcome. We thank all our strategic, supply and insurance partners for their support and generosity.”

“We are honoured to be the recipient of this year’s event, which will allow us to continue serving the over 29,140 families with sick children who use a Ronald McDonald House, Family Room or Care Mobile each year in Canada” says Cathy Loblaw, President and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Canada. “Keeping families close during this difficult and unexpected journey of hope and healing is at the heart of the generous support of Fix Auto and its franchisees. With 2,462 families turned away last year due to lack of space, Fix Auto’s donation will help us support even more families into the future.”

Brabander concludes: "“Fix Auto is a national network of family businesses that believe in giving back to their communities. Our partnership with RMHC Canada underscores our commitment to Canadian families, and we look forward to continuing to support them in their mission.”
