| Ronald McDonald jumps for joy over the donation of a Toyota Sienna minivan to the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey in Camden |
Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey has received a Toyota Sienna as a gift from Holman Toyota of Mount Laurel, NJ. Toyota's "100 Cars for Good" program is a major philanthropic effort to give "new vehicles to 100 nonprofit organizations over the course of 100 days, based on votes from the public." Ronald McDonald Houses, a charity organization, provide a "home-away-from-home" for families that have children who are hospitalized, so that they could commute near by. According to the article, " this is the second year of the 100 Cars for Good program, which kicked off in May with applicants entering for a chance to win a new Toyota. Applications were reduced to 500 finalists and certified by an independent panel of judges. Then the finalists submitted online profiles to encourage friends and supporters to vote for them on the Toyota USA Facebook page, with five finalists up for consideration by the public each day." This is great news for the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey. They will "use their new Toyota to transport families staying at the House to hospitals in South Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding region for medical treatments their children are undergoing." The organization needs the new vehicle to do their important work. It creates a good reputation to the McDonald's Corporation. I'm glad they were considered by Toyota to be awarded a new minivan.
