Can we count on you to help us give families the much-needed gift of time away together?

Nestled in beautiful Lake George, NY is a special place where families experiencing serious childhood illness can enjoy precious time together. Since
2021, the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat at Krantz Cottage has given more than 100 guest families the opportunity to make lasting memories during a five-day getaway provided completely free of charge, thanks to generous support from friends like you.

“Thank you so much for this beautiful experience,” shared a recent guest family. “We came here for a short and safe vacation before our son was admitted for a bone marrow transplant. It was so nice to be able to explore and get away from the hustle and bustle of hospital appointments for a few days.”

Give now to support the year-round operations of the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat at Krantz Cottage, ensuring that many more families
get to enjoy precious time together — at no cost — in the beautiful village of Lake George. Thanks to a generous gift from RMHC supporters Bill & Sandy Tatem, every dollar you donate to support the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat by August 31 will be DOUBLED, up to $10,000 in matching funds!
