American InterContinental University Pledges Up to $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities with new Facebook Campaign

American InterContinental University (AIU) and Career Education Corporation (CEC) have created a month-long Facebook campaign to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). For each new ‘like’ the AIU Facebook page receives during the month of July, AIU and CEC will donate $1 to RMHC, up to a maximum donation of $5,000.

After 37 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.

“We are fortunate to be able to support Ronald McDonald House Charities in a way that involves the participation of our students, alumni and community on Facebook,” said Steve Tober, President and CEO of AIU.

As part of the campaign, each U.S. campus of AIU, located in Houston, Atlanta, and South Florida, will launch a pop-tab drive. After the tabs are collected at each site, 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 commitment to RMHC, benefiting the organization’s Houses in 52 locations across the country. In addition 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 AIU are invaluable supporters of ours as we work to fulfill our mission to help both the children and the families that we serve. Volunteers from CEC and its campuses nationwide are frequent volunteers at local houses, serving families who are coping with their child undergoing treatment for a serious illness or injury at a hospital far from home,” said Marty Coyne, president and CEO of RMHC. “Through this campaign, Facebook users can join AIU and do their part to support RMHC by a simple click of a button.”

Please visit the AIU Facebook page between July 1 and July 31 to participate:
