Ronald McDonald House of Buffalo receives donation

 

BUFFALO, NY - Seneca One Realty, which owns and manages One HSBC Center in downtown Buffalo, donated two pairs of Buffalo Sabres tickets for the December 26th game versus the Washington Capitals.  The subsequent raffle produced proceeds of $1,100 all of which will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Buffalo.

 

The winners both received a pair of 200 level seats with parking included along with two Sabres hats and t-shirts.

 

 

About Ronald McDonald House

 

In 1973, Fred Hill, a Philadelphia Eagles football player, and his wife, Fran, learned that their daughter, Kim, had leukemia. While traveling into Philadelphia for treatment at the Children's Hospital, they met other families with sick children in the same situation. These families drove hours to the hospital to be with their children, only to have to sleep overnight in waiting room chairs and eat from vending machines because they had nowhere else to go.

 

Fred Hill and his football team decided to do something for these families - build them a "home away from home" in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Eagles teamed up with the local McDonald's owner/operators to raise money to purchase and restore a house near the hospital where these families could stay. The first Ronald McDonald House was born.

 

In the early 1980's, Bob and Bunny Jones, McDonald's restaurant owners, proposed establishing a Ronald McDonald House in Buffalo. After a lot of hard work, they were able to open the Ronald McDonald House of Buffalo on December 8, 1983. Since 1983, the Ronald McDonald House of Buffalo has been a welcome home for more than 17,000 families from Western New York and around the world.
