Weather Trends International Makes $15,000 Donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region
“With so many families already struggling due to the economy, it’s very difficult to imagine families suffering to help a sick child, so it was a privilege and honor to offer up our support to such a wonderful organization,” said Bill Kirk, CEO Weather Trends International. “I’m also really proud of my employees who took it upon themselves to raise additional funds with friends and family and working the “Change the Luck of a Child” phone banks at the telethon: Stephanie Layton, Krissy Klinger, Karen O’Donnell, Shelly Guare, Evan Lowery, Tony Saura and Jack Benoff.”
