Ronald McDonald Houseย Charitiesย New York Tri-State Areaย (RMHC-NYTSA) raised over $70,000 at its annual Lou Damiano Golf Outingย Mondayย at the Paramount Country Club in New City.
New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores, Brooklyn Nets forward Anthony Bennett, The Rockettes, the Brooklynettes and FOX 5 sportscaster Duke Castiglione were among the 160+ guests who attended the event along with local McDonaldโs franchisees and supporters.ย โWe exceeded our fundraising goals this year thanks, in large part, to our long-time donors and new celebrity supporters,โ said Christopher Perry, executive director of RMHC-NYSTA. โWeโre pleased to see this event continue to grow and attract the participation of so many high-profile individuals who believe in our mission.โ
The funds raised will go towards RMHC-NYTSAโs mission of finding, creating and supporting programs that improve the health and well-being of children. The organizationโs programs include college scholarships, community grants to children’s charities and five local Ronald McDonald Houses, which allow families to be with their hospitalized children for extended periods of time. The event also honored local Westchester McDonaldโs franchisee Peter Samaha for his contributions to RMHC-NYTSA, which span nearly three decades.
