Ronald McDonald House® New York held its 26th Annual Gala last night at the Grand Hyatt New York’s Empire State Ballroom and raised more than $4.2 million to support families and their children battling pediatric cancer.

The proceeds raised will also help support the House’s facility operations, which recently re-opened to a 95-room residence, enabling children to have life-saving treatment while keeping their families close. This includes six new suites for families with children who recently received a transplant, the only suites of their kind outside of a hospital in the country.

This year’s gala was emceed by NY1 news anchors Cheryl Wills and Anthony Pascale, and honored President and Chief Executive Officer of Mastercard, Ajay Banga, and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of G-III Apparel Group, Morris Goldfarb, for their contributions and service to Ronald McDonald House® New York.
