Stampede Fans Slam Dunk Snack Food for Ronald McDonald House
February 13, 2006 - Continental Basketball Association 1 (CBA 1)
Idaho Stampede News Release
Boise, ID - For the third year in a row, the Idaho Stampede celebrates McDonald's Community Night by calling on basketball fans to help "fill a truck" with much needed snack-food donations for the Idaho Ronald McDonald House during the Idaho Stampede vs. Yakama Sun Kings game on Friday, February 17, 2006. The goal of the night is to fill a Dodge Dakota bed with enough snack-food items to help provide support to more than 100 families.
The Idaho Stampede and McDonald's are teaming up to encourage Treasure Valley residents to join them for McDonald's Community Night at the Qwest Arena downtown Boise on Friday, February 17th. The Stampede is rewarding any attendee who donates a snack-food item to the Idaho Ronald McDonald House at Saturday's game with a ticket to any 2006 Idaho Stampede basketball regular season home game for just $1.00.
"We are very excited to be the beneficiary of the Idaho Stampede and McDonald's Community Night," said Mindy Plumlee, Executive Director of the Ronald McDonald House. "Our House serves hundreds of families each year - it is always a good feeling to be able to provide some of the comforts they would enjoy in their own home." All of the donated snack-food items collected will be donated directly to the Idaho Ronald McDonald House located in downtown Boise close to the major medical centers.
The Idaho Ronald McDonald House is available to all families of children hospitalized or receiving treatment for serious illness from a Boise medical facility. In its 18 years of operation, the House has provided a sanctuary for more than 5,400 families from Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Northern Nevada, and beyond. While McDonald's restaurants provide generous, ongoing support to the charity, the majority of financial contributions come from individual community donations, corporate sponsorships and special events such as the McDonald's Community Night with the Stampede.
