The Ronald McDonald House is proud to be the anchor charity for the World Golf Championships – Bridgestone Invitational. The Ronald McDonald House provides a temporary home-away-from-home for the families of sick children. By providing a supportive environment and allowing families to stay together near the hospital, the Ronald McDonald House can help children heal faster and cope better.
“Families are stronger when they are together, and their presence helps a sick child heal faster and cope better,” said Craig Wilson, Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland Executive Director. “While we cannot make medicine taste better or take away painful treatments, we can help lessen the burden and ensure families have the stability and resources they need to help their child heal. We are so thankful for the Bridgestone Invitational’s commitment to help us continue our work in Northeast Ohio.”
