Ronald McDonald House Donation Drive

Easter is right around the corner, and this year we are giving back! Easter is a time we should spend with our families, reminiscing about all of the wonderful things we have to be thankful for. With that being said, we are partnering with Century 21 Maximum and The Dome Red Deer for a donation drive for The Ronald McDonald House here in Red Deer! 

We are accepting donations at Paramount Insurance and The Dome Red Deer from March 17th – April 13th, and at Century 21 Maximum from April 6th – April 13th.
