Univest donates $25,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities

By

Chris Callanan, director of events and corporate development, Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House; Betsy Roush, community relations manager, Univest Financial; and Len Bernstein, board president, Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.

Univest Financial recently presented Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC®) of the Philadelphia Region Inc. with a check for $25,000. The donation represents the amount Univest has committed to RMHC’s “Room in Our Hearts” campaign over the next five years.

The fundraising campaign supports their current expansion at the Chestnut Street House. Due to high demand and limited space, they’ve had to turn away more than 5,000 families in need. The renovations, which began in 2017, will more than double its lodging at this facility and provide a comfortable space for families with seriously ill children.
