Ronald McDonald House
Children’s Happy Faces Foundation, whose fundraising efforts are a direct benefit to their sister charity The Ronald McDonald House NY, recently held their major charity initiative, which offered golf, tennis, horseback riding, dominos and this year a Day of Beauty. The two featured golf courses were the historic Sleepy Hollow Country Club and the elegant Trump National Golf Club. The Ronald McDonald House NY is a temporary “home-away-from-home” for pediatric cancer patients and their families and during a child’s treatment the whole family may stay at Ronald McDonald House NY. There, a child with cancer plays and grows surrounded by other children and families sharing similar experiences and supported by loving volunteers and staff. Ronald McDonald House NY is the largest facility of its type in the world. For more information visit www.happyfacesgroup.com.
