Halloween magic took over Civic Hall in Union Square as Ronald McDonald House New York welcomed families for its annual Boo Bash — a festive day of costumes, candy, and pure joy for children battling pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

This International Youth Day, Ronald McDonald House New York is shining a spotlight on the incredible partnerships and heartfelt stories that make our mission possible. In a special interview, Kristin Scholer sits down with Bruce Colley—owner and operator of NYC McDonald’s restaurants and Vice President of the RMH-NY Board of Directors—to talk about the extraordinary impact of the House and its founding partner, McDonald’s.

This Independence Day, Ronald McDonald House New York didn’t just mark the holiday—we ignited the spirit of celebration early with an unforgettable kickoff, led by none other than our inspiring Chief Development Officer, Richard “Rick” Martin.

In honor of National Superhero Day, four major news outlets showed up to spotlight a day so action-packed it might’ve required its own Marvel cinematic universe (or at least a sequel). From cape-making to skydiving Spidermen, it was the kind of Monday that had more plot twists than a multiverse timeline.

 New York’s Bravest and Finest joined forces on Wednesday to ensure Santa made an appearance and brought toys to the Ronald McDonald House in New York City.
