Ronald McDonald House New York’s 23rd Annual Skate with the Greats, was this past Friday eve, where I had the chance to mingle with stars from NHL’s New York Rangers Alumni! We all enjoyed ice skating with the Rangers on the iconic Rockefeller Center rink, a live and a silent auction with much sought-after sports memorabilia, and an autograph session with some of our favorite Rangers players! This is a great cause to help support:
Ronald McDonald House New York provides temporary housing for pediatric cancer patients and their families in a strong, supportive and caring environment which encourages and nurtures the development of child-to-child and parent-to-parent support systems.
Paul and I also did a little posing with a certain Hockey award:
This event has been going on for years and helps raise funds for this amazing organization! In fact, I worked with this amazing organization in 2014! Read all the details here! We also had the privilege of attending the 17th Annual Skate With the Greats and participating back in 2011. It was great to be back with my family and Paul’s hockey playing friend, they had a blast on the ice!
It was a fantastic evening with a lot of money raised to help a great cause. Their fundraising efforts are ongoing throughout the year, so for more information on donating to help this important cause, please visit www.rmh-newyork.org/skate and visit their website to learn more! They appreciate your support all year long!
Disclosure: We received complimentary tickets to attend this event. All opinions are always 100% honest and our own.
And I got my celeb pic:
Ronald McDonald House New York:
Since our founding in 1978, Ronald McDonald House® New York has provided temporary lodging and care for more than 35,000 families while their child battles cancer.
When families must travel to New York City for the advanced cancer treatment they can’t get anywhere else, they can find a loving place to stay at our House. We’re proud to provide a supportive, caring place that keeps families close when they need each other most.
Located on East 73rd Street in Manhattan and in close proximity to 13 major cancer treatment centers, Ronald McDonald House New York welcomes children and families from across the country and the world. The House can accommodate 84 families and is filled to capacity almost every night.
We ask families for a requested donation of just $35 a night — far less than the cost of a Manhattan hotel room. But no family is ever turned away just because they can’t afford to pay.
We offer families additional support through wellness programs, tutors, music, art, transportation, activities for siblings, holiday and birthday parties, and camaraderie.
At our House, families are welcomed with love and comfort. Lifelong friendships are formed among people who understand what it’s like to cope with such a devastating diagnosis. Here, families fighting cancer find the hope and support they need.
It’s a really great cause. Thank you for your effort and time.
What a great organization Ronald McDonald House is for the assistance they give to families going through such rough circumstances.
What a great cause I hope everyone had a great time.
