The Society for Marketing Professional Services Central Pennsylvania (SMPS CPA) chapter presented a $10,000 check to the Ronald McDonald House Charities on Aug. 3. The donation was raised from the chapter's annual A/E/C Golfing "FORE" Business outing, held at Regents' Glen Country Club in York on June 20. Ninety-six golfers participated. Registration included green fees and the use of a cart, lunch and dinner, complimentary beverages, networking and an awards reception. Team prizes and skill prizes were also awarded.

The Ronald McDonald House is built on the idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of its child. Since 1984, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central PA has been keeping families together and near the care and resources they need as their children receive essential medical care. The nonprofit does so through the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey, located across the street from Penn State Health Children's Hospital; the Ronald McDonald Family Room and Hospitality Cart, providing services within the hospital setting at Penn State Health Children's Hospital; and the Ronald McDonald Kiosk, providing services within the hospital setting at Lancaster General Hospital. Everything offered through Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central PA is provided at no charge, thanks to community support.
