About:
The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital serves as an extension of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. The Family Room provides families of children undergoing medical treatment with a place to rest and relax right at the hospital. In an effort to help alleviate the anxiety of being in a hospital environment, the Family Room offers many of the comforts of home while being just steps away from their child’s bedside. The Family Room includes an area of respite where families can spend quiet time together, engage in private conversation, enjoy a beverage or snack, or even freshen up with a shower. It is equipped with a fully stocked kitchenette, a dining area, a comfortable lounge area with a large flat screen television, laptops with internet access, a private shower, and transportation services.
Besides providing the opportunity for medical services to the smallest of hockey fans, we are also raising money to ensure the PRIDE in Athletics for Life can continue to instill the core values of Passion, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Enthusiasm in the children of our community. These core values not only support our mission of improving their experiences as athletes but help instill values that make these young men and women better people in life.
Approximately 400+ hockey players and their families will participate in the 5 K walk-a-thon on Sunday, September 7, 2014.
