On December 20, 2023, McDonald's of Guam and Saipan Owner/Operators Jose and Marcia Ayuyu (center) received the McDonald's "Values" Award for demonstrating their commitment to their community. Over the past 30 years, the Ayuyu's have dedicated their time to supporting countless organizations including non-profit organizations and the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). In 2021, the Ayuyu's launched their bi-annual fundraiser event, the "McDonald's of Guam and Saipan" Golf Classic to continue to raise funds for RMHC. To date, they have donated over $45,000 to keep families together during difficult times.
