The Ronald McDonald House at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital is teaming up with local McDonald’s restaurants to launch “Help with All your Heart,” a campaign to benefit the home-away-from-home for families of hospitalized children.
“Help with All your Heart” runs the entire month of February. Customers at more than 70 participating McDonald’s restaurants can purchase a colorful heart for $1 or $5 – and receive a coupon for a free soda. All proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, Westchester Medical Center.
Participating McDonald’s restaurants are located throughout the Greater Hudson Valley region.
The Ronald McDonald House serves families from the New York Tri-State area and beyond whose children are hospitalized at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.
“We understand that times are tough, so we worked closely with the owner/operators of our McDonald’s restaurant partners to devise a campaign that makes it a little easier to make a big difference,” says Marielena DiMatteo, executive director, Ronald McDonald House at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. “By contributing to ‘Help with All your Heart,’ you will give families a peaceful, comfortable place to stay during the most challenging time of their lives – when a child is hospitalized due to serious illness or traumatic injury.”
About Ronald McDonald House
Ronald McDonald House Charities (www.rmhc.org) creates, finds and supports programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children.
From 2005-2008, the Ronald McDonald Family Room was located within the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Plans are to build a new 12-bedroom house on the grounds of the hospital. The proposed Ronald McDonald House can serve almost triple the number of families served before, while providing additional programs for those families during their stay.
