The TriCounty Independent Insurance Agents Association donates $10,000 to the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island
Members of the TriCounty Board of Directors recently presented a check for $10,000 to the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. The check represented proceeds from the TriCounty ‘Cabaret’ post-holiday party held on January 11th at K-Pacho Restaurant in New Hyde Park, New York.
Peter Phillips, President of TriCounty said: “We were so impressed with the work of this fine organization, we wanted to contribute as best we could…. $10,000 was our goal and, with the help of the dedicated volunteers at Ronald McDonald House, our sponsors and guests on January 11, we reached it!”
Twenty-two companies sponsored this gala event which drew close to 200 guests.
“Sponsorships, along with proceeds from the 50/50 drawing made the size of the donation possible, and we thank everyone for their generosity,” said James Bastian, TriCounty’s treasurer.
The TriCounty Independent Insurance Agents Association is comprised of more than 300 independent insurance member agencies and brokerages doing business in the counties of Nassau, Queens, Kings and Richmond.
The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island is located in New Hyde Park, and accommodates families in a warm and supportive environment. For 30 years, the House has been a home-away-from-home for over 21,000 families in the United States and more than 80 countries around the world who are dealing with the pain of having a child undergoing medical treatment at nearby hospitals.
