It’s a phrase you hear often in hallways at Ronald McDonald House New York: "Where would we be without you?"
At Ronald McDonald House New York, we have a small staff of over 40 people who continuously blow us away with their generous hearts and helping hands—day in and day out. Our leadership team includes a Board of Directors and a Board of Associates made up of some of the finest minds in the financial, medical, and retail communities; as well as members of the media, legal, apparel, and maritime communities. These diverse, highly respected leaders offer valuable insight into how we can provide the best possible support solutions for our families now and in the future.
