Hungry Jack’s’ annual fundraising campaign has raised $2.3 million for Make-A-Wish Australia.
The children’s charity grants life-changing wishes for critically ill children, and last year granted over 900 experiences, gifts and meet-and-greets.
The fast food giant has raised over $7 million for Make-A-Wish Australia since the partnership began in 2017.
Chris Green, Hungry Jack’s CEO said the support shown by Hungry Jack’s crew, customers, suppliers and franchisees has once again been incredible and is a testament to the work carried out by Make-A-Wish Australia.
“Every star sold represents a beacon of hope for the children and families supported by Make-A-Wish Australia. We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished together,” he said.
“Hungry Jack’s is proud to continue to support Make-A-Wish Australia through the past four years of this incredible campaign and over the years have helped to raise more than $7 million for critically ill kids.”
As part of the fundraising campaign, Hungry Jack’s customers could purchase $2, $5 or $10 Wishmaker stars from 4 June to 1 July 2024.
Make-A-Wish Australia CEO Sally Bateman emphasised the significant impact the funds raised will have.
“With rising costs, record new applications coming into the program and more than 900 critically ill kids on their Wish Journey right now, this support is more crucial than ever,” she said.
“We are so grateful for the remarkable generosity of the Australian community and the unwavering support of the Hungry Jack’s team who have made this fundraiser such a success.”
The funds were raised throughout Hungry Jack’s 464 restaurants across Australia.
