This year, as in the past, GPPCMA is doing all of our fundraising efforts in support of the Ronald McDonald House at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Below are several opportunities to not only help out by volunteering, but also to get to know the other chapter members in a different light (always a great networking opportunity for those of you looking for jobs!).
The Ronald McDonald House at St. Christopher’s Hospital has a budget of $2.5 Million and they are responsible for raising 90% of that money. It costs them $75.00 a day for each family that stays at the home, and they charge the families only $15.00 a day to stay. If a family cannot afford it, the home will not turn them away, and will instead let them stay for free! Let’s all pitch in to help them raise money for their budget, so they can continue to help families with children in the hospital.
May 9th

What: The Plane Pull is a giant tug-of-war between the GPPCMA team and a hefty Southwest Boeing 737. Bring the kids and enjoy fun outdoor activities, including a visit with Ronald McDonald.
