Terminal Raises Money for the Ronald McDonald House

Employees at the Fontana, California (FON) terminal recently raised money in support of the Ronald McDonald House located in Loma Linda by holding “Penny Wars”. The terminal was broken up into four groups:  City Drivers, Dock, Line Drivers, and office/Shop. Each competed against each other to see who could raise the most money. All together, they raised $522.91 and the dockworkers won the competition. Congratulations FON dockworkers! A big thanks to all employees for supporting this great organization!
