ATLANTA, Nov. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Last Thursday, October 20, 2016, popular Brookhaven restaurant, The Haven was host to a Ronald McDonald House charity event and the New Acquisitions team was proudly in attendance. The team had the opportunity to dine at the restaurant as well as participate in a raffle that the charity had set up outside.
One of the country’s most well-known charities, the Ronald McDonald House Charity foundation helps house families with sick children near the hospital or treatment center where their child is receiving care. The families are able to stay at one of the houses for little to no cost while also receiving home-cooked meals, private bedrooms, and playrooms for other children in the family.

The raffle prizes included a $500.00 Macy’s shopping spree for third place, two round-trip tickets (location to be determined by winner) courtesy of Southwest Airlines for second place, and a 2017 BMW 428i Convertible as the grand prize. The winners will be announced in the beginning of December.
“It’s exciting to see how many people are participating, not just for the prizes, but because it’s going to a good cause,” said Amber Abrams, office manager at New Acquisitions. “Even if you don’t win, you know that you were a part of something that helps families in their time of need.”
The New Acquisitions team was able to donate a total of $1,100.00 to the cause by participating in the raffle. Each raffle ticket cost $100.00 and went towards the foundation’s Atlanta chapter.
Abrams received recognition from the team for discovering the charity event and coordinating the corporate outing.
“I’m glad Amber heard about this event and I’m proud of my team for jumping at the chance to participate,” said Zack Schuch, National Director of Operations at New Acquisitions. “We try to acknowledge our team for their hard work as much as we can, so it’s great that we were able to hang out with them outside of the office while also giving back to the community in the same night.”
