Melbourne Mavericks Partner with Macca’s and Ronald McDonald House for Round 6 Clash

The Melbourne Mavericks have announced a community partnership with Macca’s and Ronald McDonald House, naming the charity as the official match day partner for their Round 6 Suncorp Super Netball (SSN) fixture against the West Coast Fever.

The collaboration focuses on raising vital funds and awareness for the essential services provided by Ronald McDonald House, which offers accommodation and support for families with seriously ill or injured children.

Highlighting the importance of using the club’s professional platform for social impact, Mavs general manager, Shae Bolton‑Brown, said: “Ronald McDonald House provides an incredible support system for families during the most challenging times of their lives.”

“As a club, we’re passionate about using our platform to help raise awareness and support causes that truly make a difference, and we’re grateful to Macca’s and our fans for getting behind this important round,” Bolton‑Brown said.

CEO of Ronald McDonald House Victoria & Tasmania, Peter Bishop, remarked that the inclusion in the Mavericks’ match day experience is a meaningful opportunity for the organisation.

“Being part of the Melbourne Mavericks game for a second year means a lot to the families that we support.”

“Every donation made ensures families have a safe, supported place to stay while their child receives treatment.

“The more we raise together, the more families we can be there for,” Bishop said. 

Scheduled for Sunday, 19 April 2026, at John Cain Arena, the event provides a high-visibility platform for the charity. Ronald McDonald House currently ensures that families can remain together while a child receives medical treatment, providing a critical support system close to major hospitals.

Fans in attendance will be encouraged to contribute via a dedicated text-to-donate service or through volunteers stationed throughout the venue.

The partnership is now in its second year, reinforcing a long-term commercial and community alignment between the Mavericks and their corporate partners.
