Interested participants can register through Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley website or Facebook page and can play at any golf course during that week. Players are asked to make a donation of any amount when they register. All golfer fees and costs incurred at the individual golf courses are the responsibility of the players. Once registered every foursome will have access to the Live Scoring App which allows players to compete against each other while golfing. Winners will receive exciting prizes donated by local supporters of Ronald
McDonald House. Outing participants will also be invited to the Virtual Silent Auction to be held at the end of the week-long golf event.
All proceeds will support the mission of Ronald McDonald House; Keeping Families
Together and Close to the Care and Resources They Need. All donations made are 100 percent tax deductible. “During this unprecedented time of the pandemic and social distancing, traditional events like our annual Golf Outing have to be recreated,” said Christina Riley, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House. “Just because we can't all physically be together this year doesn't mean we can't come together in a fun way to support the families at Ronald McDonald House. We are excited to see our supporters enjoying a day of golf with their friends and family while giving back to our community.”
The Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley provides families with critically ill and traumatically injured children an atmosphere of comfort, hope and courage, keeping them close to the care and resources they need. The House has 12 bedrooms that are filled to capacity almost every night. We also provide meals, laundry and respite services for our families during their stay. Located on the campus of the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY, the House is just steps away from the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Since it opened in 2011, more than 1,800 families have called our House their Home.
