Business Wire
The Art and Design division of Career Education Corporation
(CEC), a leading provider of career-focused education, has created
a two-week Facebook campaign that will benefit Ronald McDonald
House Charities® (RMHC®). Between Feb. 14 to Feb. 28, Facebook
users can visit the four fan pages of the Art and Design schools of
CEC and choose to “like” the page. For each new “like,” CEC will
donate $1 to RMHC, up to a maximum donation of $5,000.
After 36 years, RMHC continues to create, find and support
programs that directly improve the health and well-being of
children. RMHC and its network of local Chapters tailor these
programs to address the most urgent needs of each community they
serve through the Ronald McDonald House®, Ronald McDonald Family
Room® and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® programs, as well as through
grants to other non-profit organizations.
The participating schools include Brooks Institute, Harrington
College of Design, Collins College and the International Academy of
Design and Technology. When visiting the school pages, users can
learn more about RMHC and the services it provides and “like” the
page to secure the $1 donation for RMHC.
“We are fortunate to be able to give back to Ronald McDonald
House Charities in a way that involves the participation of our
students, alumni and community on Facebook,” said Tom McNamara,
senior vice president of the Art and Design division of CEC. “We
are proud to make this donation on behalf of the online communities
of our Art and Design schools.”
As part of the campaign, each campus will launch a pop-tab
drive. After the tabs are collected, the campus community outreach
manager will take the collection to the local RMHC Chapter for
recycling in exchange for the cash value.
In the fall of 2009, CEC announced its corporate partnership
with RMHC, benefiting the organization’s Houses in 52 locations
across the country. In additional to monetary donations, CEC
students, faculty and staff provide volunteer services to support
global and local RMHC operations and programs. To date, CEC
students and staff have contributed more than 3,000 volunteer hours
to RMHC.
“Career Education Corporation and its schools have been an
invaluable partner to us as we work to fulfill our mission to
support both the children and the families that we serve,” said
Marty Coyne, president and CEO of RMHC. “Through this campaign,
Facebook users can join the Art and Design schools of CEC and do
their part to support RMHC by a simple click of a button.”
