According to the groups, employees, faculty and students at Career Education Corp.'s headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill., and 68 ground and three online institutions in the U.S. will make monetary and in-kind donations and provide volunteer services to support global and local RMHC operations and programs.
"We are proud to have the opportunity to provide needed resources to local Ronald McDonald Houses so that families can focus on the critical care of their children," said Gary E. McCullough, president and CEO of Career Education Corp. "Our employees, faculty and students look forward to sharing their knowledge and skills in their communities."
After 35 years RMHC continues to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well- being of children. RMHC and its network of local chapters tailor these programs to address the most urgent needs of each community they serve through the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile programs, as well as through grants to other non-profit organizations. Their reputation and good works have made them the Charity of Choice by respected companies like McDonald's and BrandSource, and RMHC is excited about its newest donor relationship with Career Education Corp.
Career Education Corp.'s more than 90,000 students and 12,000 employees in the U.S. represent a substantial volunteer workforce to support RMHC and the nearly 3.7 million children worldwide it serves every year. The company has established a number of programs with its schools to facilitate relationships and generate monetary donations for individual Houses across the U.S.
"Career Education Corp. provides not only monetary funding, but the valuable skills of CEC employees and students which help us do what we do best - support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children," said Marty Coyne, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities.
The sponsorship launched with a special Le Cordon Bleu promotion of which RMHC was the beneficiary. In Columbia Pictures' Julie & Julia, Julia Child attends and graduates from Le Cordon Bleu Paris before becoming a culinary icon for professional and home cooks. Fourteen of the Le Cordon Bleu schools in the U.S., owned by Career Education Corp., celebrated the film's release with an exclusive "Dinner and a Movie" series. On Aug. 5, Le Cordon Bleu students created and served a special movie-inspired menu. Each dinner guest also attended a private screening of the movie in his or her area. More than $13,000 was raised and donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
