franchises provide heating and air conditioning work for Ronald McDonald
Houses across North America.

sweepstakes. The winner receives a heating and air conditioning system
valued up to $5,000. Additionally, for every 10,000 entries received,
Aire Serv will donate $1,000 to the winner’s local RMHC chapter,

"It was exciting to see the wonderful work RMHC does around the world
and to know we are a part of it,” said Mike Bidwell, president and
COO of The Dwyer Group, Inc. “A key message takeaway was the emphasis
on providing the biggest currency of all when a child is sick –
time. We are proud to be partnered with such a strong and meaningful organization.”
RMHC was established in memory of McDonald's® founder and franchise
icon Ray Kroc in 1984. Their cornerstone program, the Ronald McDonald
House®, provides a “home-away-from-home” so families can
stay close by while their child gets the health care they need.
“We are pleased to recognized The Dwyer Group’s generosity
and involvement with RMHC and the Ronald McDonald House program. With
their support, we are able to provide stability and vital resources to
families so they can focus on what maters most - the critical needs of
their children,” said Marty Coyne, president and CEO of Ronald McDonald
House Charities.
