During the hotel’s fabulous Melbourne Cup seafood luncheon in Motion Bar & Grill and retro, 50’s style Melbourne Cup party in the Grand Ballroom, guests will have the opportunity to purchase sweepstakes for Ronald McDonald House.
“One of the core values of Marriott is a focus on global social issues, in particular the well-being of children.” Ms Tyrell, a spokesperson from the Brisbane Marriott.
“The Ronald McDonald House sweepstakes is one of the ways we can give back and help serve our community.”
Since it was founded in 1985, Ronald McDonald House has provided vital help to over 75, 000 families through a wide range of programs and by providing a low cost “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children.
There are 13 Ronald McDonald Houses in Australia and as many as 300 families will be sleeping at a Ronald McDonald House tonight, without which they would likely have nowhere to sleep while their child is in hospital.
The Brisbane Marriott’s $130 seafood luncheon will be served in Motion Bar and Grill and includes sparkling wine and canapés on arrival, three hour drinks package, live coverage of the race, charity sweeps and lucky door prizes.
The $140 retro 50’s style Melbourne Cup party will be hosted in the hotel’s Grand Ballroom, and includes a champagne cocktail on arrival, a three hour drinks package, three course set menu, live entertainment by Midnight Grove, live coverage of the race on the big screen, charity sweeps and Fashions on the Field prizes
