Ronald McDonald House

<  Ronald McDonald House

On December 19th 2009 selected members from the community service team and staff participated on giving a check to the Ronald McDonald House for $600 raised by the Battalion as well as toys for the little kids.  A tour from Ms. Helen Stafford the volunteer coordinator from the Ronald McDonald House was given to the cadets.  Ms Stafford explained to them the purpose of this place, it’s an organization run by the McDonald’s cooperation that allows cancer patients to stay in order to get their medical treatment.

The kids range from the ages of 2-19 years old, the most they have to pay is $30 a night, and if it is not possible they find a way to pay for the patient to get their care. “At first I felt nervous about going, but then I realized that I was doing a good deed with my peer, bringing smiles to the kids life.” says 1st year cadet Megan Verges.  It was another success for the Bulldog Battalion to raise the money for the kids in the Ronald McDonald House in a few weeks. The mission was a total success; we thank everyone involved in this holiday present.
