"We're so grateful that Evgeni Malkin launched the "I'm Score for Kids" program to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and we're thrilled that local McDonald's restaurants decided to team up to help even more families as they face life's most difficult challenges," said RMHC Chief Executive Officer Eleanor Reigel.
RMHC gives families who travel to get medical care for their children a place to call home. When families stay at RMHC, they are steps away from their sick child, and enjoy warm meals, daily essentials and a safe environment. In 2022, more than 1,000 different families were served at the RMHC of Pittsburgh and Morgantown with a total of 21,000-plus nights of stay. Families from 43 different counties in West Virginia and 56 different counties in Pennsylvania, as well as six countries, were welcomed for stays as short as a few days and as long as several months.
"We're deeply moved by Evgeni Malkin's commitment to Ronald McDonald House," said McDonald's Owner/Operator Joe Nyanko. "That's why we've decided to match his donation dollar for dollar to help even more families stay close to each other and near the life-saving medical resources they need."
All of the 207 McDonald's restaurants in the Three Rivers area are owned and operated by local businessmen and women who live in the neighborhoods they work. Each location employs 50-100 community residents.
