Sponsor a Family
Sponsor a family’s stay at the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat at Krantz Cottage in beautiful Lake George!
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat at Krantz Cottage provides a peaceful and supportive setting where families experiencing serious childhood illness can enjoy being together, making lasting memories. Located in the village of Lake George, the two-story cottage houses an apartment on each floor. The year-round retreat sits steps away from village attractions, and minutes from the beach.
Guest families are provided with a five-day, four-night accommodation – absolutely free of charge. This program is made possible by generous donations from our community. Please use the form below to sponsor one or more family stays at the retreat. We are set to welcome approximately 50 guest families in 2023. Your support will help ensure that each family has a truly memorable and magical experience! From freshly baked treats to special outings at local restaurants and entertainment venues, the Family Retreat offers a unique opportunity for families to regain their strength while fighting an illness, or to begin to restore their spirits after suffering a devastating loss.
