Jul. 10–A local McDonald’s owner-operator is inviting the community to help “Pay it Forward” by turning dinner into dollars today at the Frackville restaurant.
McDonald’s at 960 Schuylkill Mall Road said it will donate 20 percent of sales from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. to Frank and Jane Ulicny and family, winners of The REPUBLICAN & Herald and PPL’s recent “Pay It Forward” contest.
Frank Ulicny is suffering from neurofibromatosis and is undergoing extensive treatment at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville.
“Jane was a valued, a much-loved employee at the Frackville McDonald’s for many years,” said Elizabeth A. Dal Santo, community relations coordinator for R&K Foods, owner/operators of six area McDonald’s restaurants.
“If you are employed by McDonald’s for as long as Jane was, you become part of a big extended family. When we found out that Frank’s condition was worsening and he would need additional treatments, money for gas and car expenses while he is in the hospital and extensive renovations to his home upon his release from the hospital, we immediately decided that we had to do something to help.”
Two $500 prizes, to be used to carry out a good deed for individuals or groups,
were awarded in the “Pay It Forward” contest sponsored by The REPUBLICAN & Herald and PPL.
The other winner was Jane Hardy, a Shenandoah Valley Elementary computer teacher diagnosed with brain cancer.
If readers would like to assist in “paying it forward” for any of the causes, they can contact Janet Joyce at 628-6145 or Rachel Evans at 628-6075.
