Ronald McDonald House Charities is three-quarters of the way to $1.1M fundraising goal as renovation continues

The organization is renovating more than 9,000 square feet of previously unfinished space on the fourth floor of the house to add six new family suites. RMHC of CNY expects to complete the expansion project later this spring so that it can start using the new suites by this summer to “serve even more guest families in need.”

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central New York is located at 1100 E. Genesee St. in Syracuse.

To date, RMHC of CNY has raised $815,000 toward its $1.1 million goal, including a $350,000 gift from the Feehan Family Foundation Inc., per its Tuesday announcement.

“This expansion will allow us to keep even more families comfortable and close when it matters most,” Beth Trunfio, executive director of RMHC of CNY, said in the announcement. “We are in the process of raising $1.1 million to support this project and, while we are trending toward our goal, we are asking community members to consider donating to the project to help us meet the evolving needs of guest families.”

Those interested in donating can do so online at rmhcny.org/fourth-floor or call (315) 476-1027 to learn more about commemorative giving opportunities, RMHC of CNY said.
