January 29, 2015 - Mont Ste. Marie
The Annual Corporate Skifest brings together the National Capital Region’s business community for a full-day event to support a very worthwhile cause Ottawa's Ronald McDonald House - a "Home-Away-From-Home" for families with
children suffering from cancer and other serious illnesses who are being treated
at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
Last year the Ronald McDonald House extended their program and funded two
new family rooms at CHEO so that local families also have a convenient way to
stay close to their hospitalized children. The Annual Ronald McDonald Skifest
event is THE LARGEST annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House and their
family centered programs.
Join us on January 29th and help us give sick children what they
need most – their families! With your support and others in our local business
community we are hoping to raise $120,000 with 60 ski teams participating.
Enter a team, become a sponsor or donate a prize
for our silent auction. We need your support!

Manoir Ronald McDonald House Ottawa
Family Rooms at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario
Home can mean many things to many people and Ottawa’s Ronald McDonald House is a “Home-AwayFrom-Home” for families with children suffering from cancer or other serious illnesses being treated at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Treatment of a sick child may take weeks, months or years
and is very stressful for the child, the parents and the rest of the family, especially when they are miles
from home.
Ronald McDonald House eases some of the stress by providing a warm, safe and comfortable
accommodation in a homelike atmosphere, where parents can be near their hospitalized child and where
families share and receive moral support from each other - a child being treated as an outpatient can
stay with the rest of the family, as the hospital is only 167 steps away!
Ottawa’s Ronald McDonald House has opened two Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). These Family Rooms are used by families who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House, as well as families who reside locally. They provide family members with
an opportunity to have a meal or close their eyes for a few moments while staying close to their
hospitalized children.
Thank you for helping us give sick children what they need most – their families!!
“When you’re in the hospital for a long time with a sick child…what you know as normal life is no more…The Ronald McDonald Family Room is a space within the hospital where, just for a short time, you and your
family can forget where you are and why you’re there”
Kim McKay
