A Great Loop Journey To Support Ronald McDonald House Charities

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:

• Making a Donation: Every dollar brings the campaign closer to the $100,000 goal, directly supporting families in need.
• Sponsorship Opportunities: Sponsors will receive visibility throughout the journey, with branding on the boat, promotional materials, and social media coverage.
• Following the Journey: Supporters can stay up to date with Makin’ Wake’s progress through videos, blogs, and social media posts documenting the highs and challenges of this extraordinary adventure.

About the Great Loop

The Great Loop is one of the world’s most remarkable boating challenges, circling through waterways like the Mississippi River, the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and the Great Lakes. This 6,000-mile journey represents values of perseverance, collaboration, and the power of community — ideals that align perfectly with the mission of RMHC. It is a journey that symbolizes not just physical endurance but the emotional strength needed to overcome life’s obstacles, especially when families face health crises.
