On September 19, The H&K Group held its 9th Annual Charity Golf Outing at Lederach Golf Club in Harleysville, PA, with proceeds benefiting The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.
The H&K Group, headquartered in Skippack, PA, hosted the annual event which brought
together employees, as well as friends, family, valued vendors, customers and clients, for a fun day of golf and camaraderie. While the day’s festivities were enjoyed by all, it was the spirit of charity, with all money raised donated directly to The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, which drove this event. This year’s outing was a phenomenal success, bringing in $20,000 thanks to an incredible response of sponsorships and generosity from employees, long-time business partners, and many local businesses offering in-kind donations.
Each year, a charitable organization is selected to be the beneficiary of this
event. Due to the proximity of The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House located in nearby Philadelphia, PA, and most importantly the value and support it has and will continue to
provide seriously ill children and their families throughout our local area, it
was only fitting to select The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House as the
recipient this year. Chris Callanan, Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, Director of Events & Corporate Development, participated in the golf outing and even addressed the crowd
before the start. Chris shared information on what the Ronald McDonald House is all about and what they do for families and even a few inspirational stories on families that have been through the
house.
On Tuesday, October 13th, Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House’s, Chris Callanan
was presented the $20,000 check by The H&K Group’s Jennifer Bealer, Amy Rose and Tony Jeremias.
