Ronald McDonald House of Long Island Unveils 'Give a Hand' Mural
Mural will help support Ronald McDonald House Charities in the U.S.
As part of the 11th annual Ronald McDonald House Charities “Give a Hand” fundraiser, Saddle Rock Elementary School created a one of a kind mural to be displayed in the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island (RMH-LI) in New Hyde Park. Saddle Rock Elementary School’s fifth graders each traced their hands and wrote words of encouragement in the shape of a flower bouquet to bring the mural to life.
The mural was unveiled on Nov. 13
Supporters of Give-A-Hand will be able to help families in need by purchasing a paper hand at all participating McDonald’s restaurants in the New York Metro Tri-State area from Nov. 10–20, 2013.
