On Friday, Ronald McDonald House New York had the honor of ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. This special moment was led by Ayda and her family, who will be honored at our Annual Gala, as they stood proudly alongside our community of supporters.
Board Member and Chair Emeritus Steve Bensinger joined Ayda on the mallet, alongside Dr. Ruth C. Browne, President and CEO of RMH-NY, and members of our Board and Leadership team. Together, they rang the bell not just to mark the end of the trading day, but to symbolize hope, resilience, and the power of community for families facing pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
We are grateful to the New York Stock Exchange for highlighting RMH-NY’s mission and for providing this extraordinary platform to amplify our work. Moments like these remind us of the collective strength it takes to create compassionate care, emotional support, and family centered care for every child and family we serve.
