McDonald’s Philippines Stripes Run 2018: Run for Reading
Thousands of runners troop to the Mall of Asia last Sunday, December 2, 2018 for the annual McDonald’s Stripes Run 2018: Run for Reading!
This year's event was hosted by actress Jackie Lou Blanco and Vince Velasco. Popular celebrities also joined the run and other festivities. Spotted that day was Rayver Cruz, Kuya Kim Atienza, Camille Pratts, Alden Richards, Gabby Concepcion, Maine Mendoza & many more.
Each registration for this year's Stripes Run will help in donating reading kits to grades 1 and 2 public school children through Ronald McDonald Read to Learn, a beginning reading program of the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).
RMHC’s Read to Learn program, which started in 2002, is a partnership with the Department of Education that aims to improve the literary skills of Filipino students while they are at the early stage of learning.
To date, the Read to Learn program has enrolled close to 10,000 partner schools nationwide— reaching more than 12 million students. With basic reading skills they get from Ronald McDonald Read to Learn Program, the kids are set to learn more throughout their school years.
